Sile is a stylish citizen of the new Dublin, a veteran flight attendant who's traveled the world. Jude is a 25-year-old archivist, stubbornly attached to the tiny town of Ireland, Ontario, in which she was born and raised. On her first plane trip, Jude's and Sile's worlds touch and snag at Heathrow Airport. In the course of the next year, their lives, and those of their friends and families, will be drawn into a new, shaky orbit.©2007 Emma Donoghue (P)2007 BBC Audiobooks America Contemporary Fiction Fiction Genre Fiction LGBTQ+ Studies Literary Fiction Literature & Fiction Aviation

I love this book. Every so often I down load it and listen again. Love that I recognize the places in Ontario. Laura is a wonderful reader and perfect on the comical bits of the book.

A favourite!

I don't know how this book would have read since the better part of it is in e-mail/letter format, but as a story to listen to it was interesting. Good character development and and interesting plot. Not the usual story, not the usual issues. If you are looking for a story with lesbian protagonists, this is one of your best choices here.

Excellent

A nice love story between two women not only from different continents, but disparate worlds. They meet on a plane, Sheila is a flight attendant; Jude a traveler sitting next to a dead man. Starting with e-mail and phone calls and moving on to sporadic visits and finally the moment of decision.
This is a story with more depth than the usual love story , a bit more complicated than is usual in the genre. As another positive the obligatory breakup that occurs prior to the climatic ending feels like more of a natural outgrowth of the narrative than a contrived plot device. Jael and Risla were colorful supporting characters. A well written text with mostly likable characters. The narrator does the Irish accent fairly well (at least as far as I know) the English accents not so much and she doesn't even try a Canuck intonation.
