Sutton's novel is built around the return journey of an aeroplane between Heathrow and JFK, New York. Essentially, it's high Altitude meets high Modernist as Sutton strips away the cheery smiles, revealing the thoughts of the flight crew in a series of interior monologues - AIRPORT crossed with Virginia Woolf. The result is a sensitive and oddly pleasing novel that captures the fragility of life? ?The Times ' * This is a NEAR FINE copy with minimal shelf wear.*
