Having been stricken with sunstroke, crash-landing in the wilderness and nursed by local women, thwarted at every turn by the authorities and ultimately seeking help from Mussolini, she at last lands in London – heels, furs and all.
Though celebrated, Sophie realises fame cannot free her from her past. She has conquered the skies but not the shadows that follow ...
