Synopsis
A literary testament showing how Mary Lee Settle's great novels followed the map of her remarkable life.
The New York Times - Alex Kuczynski
Readers of Settle's previous memoirs will find some of the terrain here familiar, particularly her experiences in England during World War II… But there's enough new material to entice readers along…In the end,…Learning to Fly most vividly captures postwar New York and London and illustrates the emotions of a writer both keenly aware of how others perceive her and less emotionally well-armored than many of her colleagues.
