ABOUT THE ORIGINAL BOOK

“Great Circle” by Maggie Shipstead follows the life of Marian Graves, a daring aviator in the early 20th century, whose ambitious quest to complete a historic global flight defines her journey. The novel explores Marian's struggle to break free from societal constraints, focusing on themes of freedom, identity, and resilience. Through Marian's story, the book delves into the challenges of being a woman in a male-dominated world, as well as the personal costs of ambition. Interwoven with Marian’s tale is Hadley Baxter, an actress portraying her in a biopic, whose own journey of self-discovery parallels Marian’s.
