โœฆ Synopsis


In a small Western Queensland town, a reserved young woman receives a note from one of her vanished brothersโ€”a note that makes question her memories of their disappearance and her fatherโ€™s departure.

A beguiling story that proves that gothic delights and uncanny family horror can liveโ€”and even thriveโ€”under a burning sun, Flyaway introduces readers to Bettina Scott, whose search for the truth throws her into tales of eerie dogs, vanished schools, cursed monsters, and enchanted bottles.

In these pages Jennings assures you that gothic delights, uncanny family horror, and strange, unsettling prose can liveโ€”and even thriveโ€”under a burning sun.

Holly Black describes as โ€œhalf mystery, half fairy tale, all exquisitely rendered and full of teeth.โ€ Flyaway enchants you with the sly, beautiful darkness of Karen Russell and a world utterly its own.
