Summary of Rachel Gotto's Flying on the Inside

Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Book Preview: #1 The sea was a constant in the life of my family.

We were English, and we had our own ways of thinking and living that were very different from those of everyone else in the locality.#2 I had a difficult childhood, and was constantly thrown together with my brother Dominic.

We were not made to feel different especially, we just were.

We spent much of our free time alone together.#3 My father, who had always been a difficult man, became even more driven by his own demons after the move.

He told me and my siblings that life has no meaning, and that there is no God.

This bleak view of human existence was something I rejected as a child.
