Great Circle

by Maggie Shipstead

Sarah's take

I love *Great Circle* for its breathtaking portrayal of Marian Graves, a fiercely determined woman navigating a male-dominated world, as she grapples with her identity and the boundaries of her ambitions. This book is perfect for readers who crave rich character development and a deep exploration of what it means to pursue one's dreams against all odds, all while intertwining history and personal legacy.
