Don't miss it.\" -- Patrick Anderson, \u003cem\u003eWashington Post Book World\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe optimism of the early sixties, infused with the excitement of the space race and the menace of the Cold War, is filtered through the rich imagination of high-spirited, eight-year-old Madeleine, who welcomes her family's posting to a quiet Air Force base near the Canadian border. Secure in the love of her beautiful mother, she is unaware that her father, Jack, is caught up in a web of secrets. When a local murder intersects with global forces, Jack must decide where his loyalties lie, and Madeleine will be forced to learn a lesson about the ambiguity of human morality -- one she will only begin to understand when she carries her quest for the truth, and the killer, into adulthood twenty years later.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Harper Perennial\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/31\/2004\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780060586379\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 848\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.43lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.94h x 5.28w x 1.44d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eReview Citations: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003ci\u003eNew York Times\u003c\/i\u003e 12\/26\/2004 pg. 20\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003ePeople Weekly\u003c\/i\u003e 04\/12\/2010 pg. 55\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Ann-Marie MacDonald","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43111988691125,"sku":"9780060586379","price":15.29,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/files\/img_e66e9f11-c3d8-4079-b925-b349a612ccf1.jpg?v=1693926231","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/the-way-the-crow-flies-9780060586379","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
