With bold precision, Lucy Ferriss paints the numbing routine of lives that appear stagnant but are fraught with violent change. Against Gravitypoignantly illustrates a world where flight is a continual yearning and gravity is an unconditional force.

Reviews

"Against Gravity is a splendid book, compelling, disturbing, and comforting all at once. In her tough, lyrical prose, Lucy Ferriss has again created memorable characters whose lives are at once ordinary and utterly extraordinary. Sex, love, spiritual and physical pain: All these are brought to light in a story rich with narrative energy and the great puzzle of human experience."
-Jeanne Larsen, Author of Silk Road and Bronze Mirror
