First Review for The Flyer

The First Review for The Flyer has been posted on Amazon! It’s five stars and it’s not from my mum, or anyone else I know! Needless to say I’m delighted. I spent a great deal of time researching the background to this novel, not to mention the many drafts I wrote before it was completed, so I’m very happy that at least one person appears to have really enjoyed it. I just hope there are many more.

I could not put this book down because it was so intriguing. All the characters were interesting. If you are thinking of reading this book you will not regret it. Beautiful. My favorite author. Thank you. BRAVO!

I looked to see what kind of fiction this reviewer likes, and it appears that she (she is a female reader) enjoys love stories among other things. That’s actually particularly gratifying, because although The Flyer is definitely a love story, it also a story about the central character’s struggle to overcome the barriers of class in pre-First World War English society. Since about half of the book takes place during the First World War, against the background of the conflict in the air, I was slightly worried that some female readers might be put off by this. Some female readers that I know personally, have assured me it wasn’t a problem and said they enjoyed those elements of the story as much as any other part. It’s nice to know that in this case, anyway, that appears to be true. I always wanted the book to appeal to both men and women. After all, it appeals to me!
