Katy Durham-Matthews

A tale of real-life British aviation pioneer Amy Johnson, the first woman to fly from Britain to Australia, who would later mysteriously disappear.

Will they starve her? Shave her head? Force her to wear a hair shirt? Elspeth's friends and family react with horror, grief and even derision to her desire to become a nun. She experiences her parents' hurt, her fiancee's feeling of betrayal, her friends' incomprehension - and her own obstinate joy.
