Genre: General Fiction, Women’s Fiction
From The Publisher:
Welcome to a glamorous gateway to the jet age.
Judy Goodman and Beverly Caldwell have different reasons for putting continents and oceans between themselves and their disparate pasts, but they have the same desire—to earn a coveted position on an elite team of stewardesses for Pan American Airlines. For Judy, running away from an oppressive marriage in small-town Pennsylvania is a risk she must take. And for Beverly, leaving behind the gilded cage of New York society will allow her to pursue a future of her own making.
Embracing the culture, etiquette, and strict rules of a thrilling and unpredictable new world above the clouds, Judy and Beverly are bound for faraway destinations and opportunities that other women dare only to dream about. But as they build a deep friendship, encounter love and danger, and discover what’s truly important, Judy and Beverly must also confront the secrets that could change their lives all over again—and forever.
Why I Can’t Wait to Read Come Fly With Me:
I love fiction set in the latter half of the twentieth century, as it offers a fascinating glimpse into the evolving roles of women. I’m especially drawn to stories about flight attendants—stewardesses back then—and Pan Am, with its iconic legacy, adds an extra allure. I can’t wait to dive into Judy and Beverly’s experiences and uncover the secrets they reveal.
