An elegant novel set in the 1950s in a small American town where mysterious plane crashes occur.
In this novel, writer Judy Blume revisits her own youth in her memoir. In 1952, in the town of Elizabeth, New Jersey, three planes crash in three months. Is that a coincidence? Or a communist conspiracy? Could it be aliens? How are the residents of a small town coping? Gripping events and sympathetically drawn characters, along with a perfectly evoked 1950s aesthetic, combine to create an elegant novel based on a true story.
