Wingwalkers

A daring tale of love and adventure soars to new heights in this riveting historical novel, perfect for fans of Faulkner and The Great Gatsby.
"They were over Georgia somewhere, another nameless hamlet whose dusty streets lay flocked and trembling with the pink handbills they'd rained from the sky that morning, the ones that announced the coming of DELLA THE DARING DEVILETTE, who would DEFY THE HEAVENS, shining like a DAYTIME STAR, a WING-WALKING WONDER borne upon the wings of CAPTAIN ZENO MARIGOLD, a DOUBLE ACE of the GREAT WAR, who had ELEVEN AERIAL VICTORIES over the TRENCHES OF FRANCE."
In Wingwalkers, critically-acclaimed author Taylor Brown weaves an epic tale of a vagabond couple, Della and Zeno Marigold, who fund their journey across Depression-era America by performing death-defying aerial stunts. From town to town, they dazzle crowds and inspire a nation in the throes of the Great Depression.
But their daring acts also catch the eye of author William Faulkner, and a chance encounter during a dramatic air show sets in motion a chain of events that will have unexpected consequences for all. With scintillating prose and an action-packed plot, Brown captures the true essence of a bygone era while shedding new light on the heart and motivations of one of America's greatest authors.
Wingwalkers is a mesmerizing blend of adventure, history, and a love story that will leave readers breathless. Perfect for book clubs, historical fiction lovers, and anyone seeking an unforgettable tale of daredevils, dreamers, and the indomitable American spirit.
