June O'Sullivan's novel The Sky Is Not Enough is based on a real Irish woman, Sophie Peirce Evans, who became globally famous in 1928 after an epic, record-making solo flight from Cape Town to London. In conversation with Helen Blackhurst, June will discuss the story of Sophie's life, how she became Lady Heath and the pioneering era of aviation that she lived through. She will also explore the challenge of writing historical fiction about a real person and the choices she had to make around how to tell Sophie's remarkable story.
