Without knowing this was a novel the reader could easily think he or she was reading a detailed researched account of a fatal air crash. By , transatlantic flights were routine and Air France was coming up on its 2, non-stop crossing. There was nothing out of the ordinary about the fatal flight on October 27 except the changing of the refueling stops from Shannon, Ireland to Santa Maria in the Azores because of weather.
The pilot had over 60, flight hours including eighty-eight ocean crossings. His crew consisted mostly of former combat pilots. This was an experienced crew flying a plane with proven safety record. Bosc weaves a story together alternating strands of the flight, search, and repatriation and the passengers. Of the forty-seven passengers, eleven were crew. The remainder included a Middle Weight Champion, a French violinist and her brother, a Walt Disney director, an artist, a Montreal newspaper editor, and five Basque shepherds coming to work ranches in America.
The story of the flight is broken down into sections and brief biographies of the passengers are used to separate the flight and recovery. Even in a grim story, Bosc puts together some almost poetic passages: I have always been a fan of aviation stories most of them, however, not as tragic as this story.

From an early age, stories of WWI pilots to specifications of commercial planes always interested me. The story of the flight is well done and the biographies add the human touch to the book.
Editorial Reviews
What confused me while reading the book was what to take as factual and what was made up by the author. The flight information seems to line up with the actual events. The passengers are all correctly identified. The question is where does reality stop and fiction begin. There are no citations through the book and reads like narrative non-fiction except that the author is entirely too young to be a witness to any of these events.
I am left to assume that the book is more in the style of writing rather than the more cut and dry American style. The problem for some, like me, lies in what is true and what is fiction. For others looking for something interesting to read without the urge to fact check, this is an excellent novel of tragedy and the human connection to the fallibility of technology.
Travelers on planes and ships are called "passengers". However, if a plane crashes or a ship sinks, those passengers and crew 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, Travelers on planes and ships are called "passengers".
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 Azores, in 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 Marcel Cerdan, violinist Ginette Neveu, Kay Kamen - as well as 5 Basque shepherds going to a new life in the United States.
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. I picked up a copy of this book because of one the airplane on the front of the book cover.

I am always fascinated by stories featuring aviation. The second reason is because this book was based on true events. Living in the US, we do not always know what is happening in other countries. This is a short book. Even the chapters are short and thus it makes for a quick read. Yet at the same time a long read. What I mean by this is that I did not feel a connection with any of the people who tragical I picked up a copy of this book because of one the airplane on the front of the book cover.
What I mean by this is that I did not feel a connection with any of the people who tragically lost their lives on October 27, Therefore, reading this book at times felt like a chore.

While I appreciate Mr. Bosc's take on what actually happened on this fatal day, this book felt more like fiction than semi-fiction. Bosc racconta in questo suo "Constellation" frammenti delle vite dei passeggeri di un volo Air France precipitato nelle Azzorre nel Un volo piuttosto famoso per aver causato la morte di alcuni personaggi in vista all'epoca, casualmente ritrovatesi nello stesso posto al momento sbagliato: Bosc ci presenta in questa opera prima Bosc racconta in questo suo "Constellation" frammenti delle vite dei passeggeri di un volo Air France precipitato nelle Azzorre nel Ho trovato l'idea alla base del libro molto intelligente e il racconto di alcune storie particolarmente intenso.
Devo anche ammettere che nonostante mi sia piaciuto il modo in cui fa procedere la narrazione, alcune di queste storie non mi sembrano particolarmente riuscite nella narrazione o, almeno, non lo sono tutte allo stesso modo. Non ho nemmeno amato il modo diretto per me un po' semplicistico in cui si parla del destino, anche se capisco che in racconto del genere non si possa chiedere di non fare di tale concetto la base di tutto l'impianto narrativo. In my attempts to read more broadly, I'll often pick up and read something from another country if it's quite short, regardless of the premise of the story.
That was the case with this award-winning French novel, which centers around an Air France flight that crashed in the Azores in , killing all 48 on board. Unfortunately, in its English translation, the book is tonally adrift and in blurring the line between fact and fiction never finds solid ground. The author's form is a mixture of pure In my attempts to read more broadly, I'll often pick up and read something from another country if it's quite short, regardless of the premise of the story.
The author's form is a mixture of pure reportage around what happened and might have happened to lead to this disaster, and recounting the circumstances of who was on board and why.
