The Sky Was Ours

From acclaimed writer Joe Fassler, The Sky Was Ours reimagines the myth of Daedalus and Icarus as a compelling story of obsession and the pursuit of utopia set against a backdrop of societal turmoil in 2005. The novel follows Jane, who abandons her life to find meaning on the road, where she encounters Barry, a visionary obsessed with building human-flight wings, and his son Ike. It explores themes of transcendence, innovation, and the moral dilemmas of technology, raising thought-provoking questions about freedom and human aspiration through a beautifully crafted and imaginative narrative.
