THE FLIGHT

'She had viewed it from all angles in the dream, had flown inside, around and above it, like a winged creature inspecting new territory, but not with caution, with excitement and joy, the joy of freedom...'Thus begins the 'rite-of-passage' - a real and metaphorical ascension - of three strangers drawn together one night by a mysterious power. Luce, Re and Cromer are forced to face their inner demons. The fear of Earth, Fire, Water and Sun must all be conquered - but the journey is fraught with obstacles, danger and the reluctance of the characters to let go of the past. The Flight, Morwen Fox's debut novel for young adults, explores the major themes of Love, Hate, Death, Life in prose rich with myth and poetry. The ability of human beings to transcend self-imposed limits and achieve true freedom is this book's ultimately uplifting message.
