Flyaway Audiobook Summary

Transformation, enchantment, and the emotional truths of family history teem in Kathleen Jennings’ stunning debut, Flyaway.

“Kathleen Jennings’ prose dazzles, and her magic feels real enough that you might even prick your finger on it.”–Kelly Link

“Half mystery, half fairy tale, all exquisitely rendered and full of teeth.”–Holly Black

In a small Western Queensland town, a reserved young woman receives a note from one of her vanished brothers–a note that makes her question memories of their disappearance and her father’s departure.

A beguiling story that proves that gothic delights and uncanny family horror can live–and even thrive–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. Flyaway enchants you with the sly, beautiful darkness of Karen Russell and a world utterly its own.
