Tom Gilling's wonderful new novel is set in the nineteenth century and tells the tale of Miles McGinty, a young man who decides to learn how to fly.
We meet an entrancing cast of characters: among them a kind of swagman, an enigmatic fellow who makes his living doing levitation tricks; Eliza, Miles's grandly theatrical mother; and Mr Windsor, a lightfingered pedagogue who likes to meddle in the affairs of others. And when Miles meets Isabel McCauley, a clever, sceptical girl, romance takes flight and the two lovers join in a journey to their destiny.
Buoyant and romantic, 'Miles McGinty' will delight fans of Tom Gilling's debut novel 'The Sooterkin' which became a 'New York Times' Notable Book, and announced the arrival of a powerful and beguiling new writer.
