In a world where freedom was a luxury few could afford, a group of brave individuals dared to challenge the status quo. Voices in the Air is a moving story of a Polish plane hijacking in the 80s, a desperate bid for freedom from the suffocating grip of Communist rule.
At its heart, this is a fiercely feminist tale of women driven to extremes by their desire to protect their loved ones. And instead of having just one main character, the book follows multiple women, each with their own story. It's like a TV series in book form. Despite not being my typical cup of tea, I appreciated the opportunity to explore this particular tale.

PS: The book needs thorough proofreading.

Thank you to #NetGalley and the publisher for a free ARC in exchange for an honest review!

I loved this book. This is the story of 2 main characters and their lives in communist Poland and their decisions to hijack a plane to escape the communism. The story is captivating, and the writing is beautiful. The translation is excellent.

I'm really sorry, but this was a DNF for me.

As an Eastern European myself, I was extremely interested in this book and started reading it right away. However, the writing was really choppy and hard to get into. At 15% of the book, I realized that I don't remember anything I read.

I won't post my review anywhere as I DNF'd the book so early on.

Voices in the Air is a story of a hijacking of a Polish plane in the 80s which was organized to escape the Communist Poland where Martial law was just implemented. The author does a great job introducing the characters and immersing us in their unique situations prior to hijacking. The book illustrate everyday lives of the characters along with their hardships. Having grown up in Poland in the 80s and 90s, I could relate to the stories and I understood the characters decisions to risk their lives and leave Poland hoping for a better life behind the Iron Curtain. The book was very touching, engrossing and well-researched and I really enjoyed it. The only negatives for me were some grammar, spelling and punctuation errors. The book would greatly benefit from having an editor to button up these minor mistakes.

I'm grateful to NetGalley and Palimpset Press for the eARC.

The book is told in straight narrative with mingled documentary style, and that's a strong point of the storytelling. A strong, feminist story, with grieving women who are determined to go to whatever lengths required to flee their motherland in aspirations of saving their families.

There can't be one protagonist in such story narratives, and there isn't. Multiple parallel stories of the characters that appear in the story give it a binge-worthy-hijack-plot series feel.

The character arcs are beautifully written, and narrative keeps the reader on edge.

This was a wonderfully done novel and worked well with the description and genre. I enjoyed getting to know the characters and how they fit in this story. Kasia Jaronczyk wrote this perfectly and enjoyed the overall story going on.
