Historical fiction time! I feel like celebrating every time I get the opportunity to read one of these, seriously. I don't ever pick them for myself (like, when I'm perusing Thrift Books or Barnes & Noble), so I appreciate being given the opportunity to do so through LSBBT blog tours!
Beyond the Horizon is a fictional book set during WWII, but it does involve real places and events. Specifically, this novel is about Women Airforce Service Pilots (WASP), the group of women who assisted the military during combat. I had absolutely no idea that this group of women existed, so I was especially ecstatic to find out about this wonderful group of women through this beautifully told story.
There are several characters in Beyond the Horizon, but the story itself centers around Eva. It begins with the process of learning to fly with the help of her friend Harry. Both Eva and her friend Nina apply and are accepted to WASP and it begins this tale of learning how to maneuver life outside of their community and into the much larger world of combat and flying.
Ella Carey has done a gorgeous job of writing a story that not only gives us a singular example of strength and courage in the character of Eva, but also gives us intricately woven story of a group of women who fight against the odds. Beyond the Horizon transports the reader to the time of WWII, but it also takes us to a time where women were learning their way in the world and their discovery of the freedom that was there to grasp. I am, above all, a character-driven reader. This novel answers that call most definitely. I can feel that these characters are almost tangible. Perhaps it's the backdrop of flying and the military, but it is entirety of Carey's writing that brings life to these characters. And it goes without saying that the backdrop and story of this novel is as intense and intricate as the characters we come to love.
Page-turning and fantastically written - all readers should pick up this novel!
