Bookseller’s recommendation “Like many great novels that make a statement, Maggie Shipstead’s Great Circle is an inviting, ambitious and comfortable work. But unlike most, Great Circle makes a statement without dragging out its page count. It’s a gallop, in fact, in his account of the triumphant and disastrous walk of Marian Graves around the world and Hollywood stars, a decade later, responsible for playing her on the screen. And she did it with enthusiasm and an infectious voice that I could not get out of my head. This is the kind of story that you the desire will never end. The Great Circle is a haunting and profound account of what it says about life’s great journey, our shared history, and freedom! Uriel, BookPeople

NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • SHOW TODAY #ReadWithJenna BOOK CLUB PICK • The unforgettable story of a courageous female aviator determined to chart her own path in life, at any cost: “an epic journey — through Prohibition and World War II, from Montana. to London to Hollywood today—and you’ll work every minute of it” (People).

After being rescued as babies from a sinking ocean liner in 1914, Marian and Jamie Graves were raised by their abusive uncle in Missoula, Montana. There–after meeting a pair of pilots barnstorming through town in battered biplanes–Marian begins a lifelong love affair with aviation. At fourteen he left school and found an unexpected and dangerous patron in a wealthy bootlegger who provided a plane and subsidized his studies, an arrangement that would haunt him for the rest of his life, although it allowed him to fulfill his destiny: the world by flying through the North and South Poles.

A century later, Hadley Baxter was cast to play Marian in a film that focused on Marian’s disappearance in Antarctica. Vibrant, canny, disgusted with the claustrophobia of Hollywood, Hadley is eager to redefine herself after the romantic movie franchise has imprisoned her in the grip of cult celebrity. Her immersion in Marian’s character unfolds, thrillingly, alongside Marian’s own story, as the two women’s destinies—and their hunger for self-determination across different geographies and times—they collide. Epic and emotional, meticulously researched and put together, Great Circle is a monumental work of art, and an incredible leap forward for the talented Maggie Shipstead.

-J. Courtney Sullivan “A sumptuous epic . . . exhilarating. . . this book delivers a series of familiar, sweet and provocative points of contemplation that make the reader feel alive.” – Leigh Haber, Oprah Daily

“A work of historical fiction on the rise . . . So convincing is that Shipstead immerses his fictional heroine in a daring flight path on an early flight that you’ll believe she remembers the tragic day her plane disappeared. The Great Circle is an uncomfortable story about a woman who maneuvers between tradition and prejudice to get what they want. It’s also a culturally rich story that takes full advantage of its length to explore the changing landscape of the 20th century. My top recommendation for this summer.

The Little Prince

“A feat of history in every sense.” —Entertainment Weekly “Shipstead’s writing sighs and sighs . . . With complete brilliance, he gives heart and empathy to every character (except one villain), no matter how small their role is. Many authors try to create an epic falter at the end, but Shipstead never wavers, pulls a twist or two that feels completely earned, and then sticks the landing. An expansive story that covers more than a century and seems to cover the whole world. “

“Exciting . . . Great Circle starts high and maintains high. One can say that it rises. An action packed book full of characters. . . Great Circle understands for and finally achieves extraordinary things. He pulls out this achievement through individual judgments and sensations-get every secondary and tertiary character right. . . What’s amazing is how much we care about each of these people, and how the shapes and textures of each of their stories come together to form their own story. It is at the level of sentences and scenes, which are small but unforgettable salient details, that the book ultimately succeeds or fails. In this, Great Circle is consistently sound, often stunningly so.

“Shipstead’s eye for detail, character and telling moments make this a true literary achievement.” -Zibby Owens, Good Morning America

“Great Circle is an epic journey—through Prohibition and World War II, from Montana to London to modern Hollywood—and you’ll love every minute of it.”

The Vintage Aviator Museum (masterton)

“Swinging from century to century, from the splendor of moneyed cities to the shifting ice of Antarctica, Shipstead’s prose is full of careful detail. Shipstead’s wit and knowledge are on full display. . . One finds twists and surprises, an unexpected connection—though the ultimate interest of the work reflects a quality shared by the Graves twins: a natural and boundless curiosity.

“Maggie Shipstead’s best-selling novel struggles to portray a female adventurer. So she became one. Shipstead’s debut, Seating Arrangements, [sealed] her reputation as an impeccable quality beach craft reads. . . But the stakes of the Great Circle are higher—for its heroine , meaning life or death. Although Shipstead never learns to fly on his own, he aligns with the main character Marian Graves in a more important way. . . . He likes to test his limits.”

“Glitz and guts are matched in Great Circle: a tale of two women sidelined by centuries, struggling to maintain control of their own lives in a society that demands submission. Shipstead writes so vividly that the reader can feel the excitement and pain of her characters. Wisely done. . . multi-layered, a joy to read. . . engrossing.”

“Marian Graves’ 1950s quest, a pole-to-pole route around the world, would not be truly complete until the 20th century Hadley Baxter was made into a film version of Marian—not because the two women shared stories, letters, or mementos (that’s a common trope of historical fiction), but because of their dissatisfaction with the patriarchal system that guides their lives . . . A novel with rich prose and greater symbolism.”

“In one word: fantastic. Shipstead’s writing is truly amazing, each character comes to life with mesmerizing descriptions and beautiful images. Every high is found together with Marian, every low feels intensely and deeply as if it happened in real time . Even the most technical details—such as the intricacies of planes and engines—jump off the page, drawing the reader in. Shipstead sets the scene for each location with beauty and fascinating detail. . . . He has created a unique world full of moving characters that it was terrible to have to leave them.”

“Marian’s section has traveled from Montana to Manhattan to Scotland and Antarctica, and reads like a carnival of early 20th-century American history, packed with bootleggers, horse-drawn carriages, and tragic shipwrecks. Hadley’s chapters offer great insight into life as celebrity, serves up a clever skewering of the Hollywood machine and allows the book to fly.

“A fat and juicy rainbow of romance . . . A beautifully written book, epic in spirit and scope, that sweeps across continents and through time with such ease that it thinks seven years seem to have passed.”

“A book that is full, full, full of color and great destiny. . . the glorious creation of a legend. This is a novel of greatness in every way: theme, size,
