Three StarsBy Anita L.Good story,not great.1 of 1 people found the following review helpful. 48 "souls"...By Jill MeyerTravelers on planes and ships are called "passengers" or "crew". However, if a plane crashes or a ship sinks, those lost are referred to as "souls". I don't know if there's a religious reason behind the term, but "souls" are those poor people who didn't land at the next airport or dock at the next port. French author Adrien Bosc has written a book, "Constellation", about the 48 "souls" lost when an Air France Constellation plane crashed into a mountain while landing at Santa Maria Airport, in the , in 1949.Why write about a plane crash? Of the 48 aboard, 11 were crew and 37 were passengers. And among the passengers were several famous people - boxer , violinist Ginette Neveu, Kay Kamen - as well as 5 Basque shepherds going to a new life in the United States. A mother/daughter, a newly divorced woman, several businessmen...this was a random group of people who were on the /Orly to New York/Idlewild flight that night.Is author Bosc trying to make sense of the crash, which was determined to be caused by navigation problems? What can anyone say about these poor people? Bosc gives it a "go", but somehow the "souls" don't seem to come alive in his prose. Maybe that's a problem with the translation. Both the dead, and those they left behind to mourn them, are memorialised in Bosc's book by name and deed but I just wish there was more "life" in the descriptions.

This best-selling debut novel from one of Francersquo;s most exciting young writers is based on the true story of the 1949 disappearance of Air Francersquo;s Lockheed Constellation and its famous passengers On October 27, 1949, Air Francersquo;s new plane, the Constellation, launched by the extravagant Howard Hughes, welcomed thirty-eight passengers aboard. On October 28, no longer responding to air traffic controllers, the plane disappeared while trying to land on the island of Santa Maria, in the Azores. No one survived. The question Adrien Boscrsquo;s novel asks is not so much how, but why? What were the series of tiny incidents that, in sequence, propelled the plane toward Redondo Mountain? And who were the passengers? As we recognize Marcel Cerdan, the famous boxer and lover of Edith Piaf, and we remember the musical prodigy Ginette Neveu, whose tattered violin would be found years later, the author ties together their destinies: ldquo;Hear the dead, write their small legend, and offer to these thirty-eight men and women, like so many constellations, a life and a story.rdquo; [64gyb.ebook] Constellation By Adrien Bosc PDF [64gyb.ebook] Constellation By Adrien Bosc Epub [64gyb.ebook] Constellation By Adrien Bosc Ebook [64gyb.ebook] Constellation By Adrien Bosc Rar [64gyb.ebook] Constellation By Adrien Bosc Zip [64gyb.ebook] Constellation By Adrien Bosc Read Online
