Sobre este áudio
Resumo da Crítica
"This book is intoxicating; it made me imagine things I never imagined before. The world of flying is so complete, so detailed and real, it was as if I was flying, as if I could feel my wings. This is an addictive mystery, clever and compelling." (Jane Campion, director of The Piano and Bright Star)
"A brilliantly conceived vision, bold in its execution and utterly convincing in its detail. When We Have Wings is that rare thing, a compelling read that is both emotionally and intellectually satisfying." (Amanda Lohrey, Miles Franklin Award-winning author of The Labyrinth)
"There’s magic in the descriptions of visionary architecture and idealistic modified environments, as well as in the imagined realisation of the ancient human aspiration for flight. There’s realism too, however, and not a little humour, in the humans’ tendency to fail spectacularly (like Icarus) – or at least to fall short. I found the descriptions of urban slums and city-edge wastelands a disturbing commentary on present trends. ... A pretty impressive first novel ... Underneath it all, there's an exciting, sometimes romantic, and often scary story." (Helen Watson White, Sunday Star Times, NZ)
"It’s a fascinating read which will keep you guessing all the way…and, maybe, even wishing for some wings of your own. In a word: Unputdownable." (Townsville Bulletin)
"In this slightly futuristic world, there's a class divide between rich fliers, with genetically engineered attached wings, and wretchedly poor non-fliers. Peter Hosking does an excellent job clearly differentiating between the two main characters. Zeke, the traditional noir cop turned cynical private eye, is trying to track down a young nanny who has stolen her charge. Hosking expertly projects Zeke's confusion and shifting emotions as he uncovers the young woman's true story. In addition, Hosking effectively projects Zeke's uncertainty about whether or not he should get his own son wings in a system full of corruption. This is a detail-rich story, and Hosking's clear, lilting voice, with its slight Australian accent, is a true pleasure." (AudioFile Magazine)
