A compelling metaphysical thriller and journey of self-discovery in which a woman must face the shadows that have haunted her since birth.
Some secrets will not stay buried...
Haunted by a chilling prophecy that foretold the death of her father, Fern was given up for adoption at birth by a mother desperate to protect them both. Now, twenty years later, Fern lives in Sydney, plagued by an unshakable sense of danger. Her family and friends think she is losing her mind but Fern is convinced someone is after her.
Seeking to unlock the mystery, Fern takes flight onto the streets of Sydney, where she meets unlikely allies in Cassie, a troubled clairvoyant cursed with second sight, and Adam, a tormented ex-soldier tormented by demons of his own. As danger looms, Fern and Adam embark on a journey which takes them far into the labyrinthine depths of the Tasmanian wilderness, where Fern is forced to confront not only the shadows of her past but the mysterious prophecy that has stalked her since birth.
With modern gothic overtones and interwoven with myth and metaphor, Flight is a metaphysical thriller and love story that weaves together psychological suspense and magical realism in a powerful tale of identity, fate, and self-discovery.
'An adventure story that encapsulates both a physical and spiritual journey. . . interesting and original with some startling contrasts between the ordinary and the extraordinary.' Bookseller & Publisher
What Readers Have to Say
'Gripping, revealing and mesmerising, the world that Dub has created is part dream, part nightmare and full of hope in this fantastic novel of self-discovery . . . Inspirational, and wise; a 'must-read' for everyone.' Everyman
'One of those stories that defies borders and delves into the very deepest regions of the human heart and mind. Words can't really say how fabulous this novel is, one must read it to fully absorb the beauty and subtlety of Rosie's writing and the truth and honesty of Fern's journey.' Ella
'A coming of age novel unlike any I've read before, as it incorporates the numinous confidently yet subtly. The author's writing is beautiful and captures emotion and story vividly. I can't remember another book that had me so hooked . . . It has changed the way I think on a number of levels.' Grace
