About this listen
RACHEL YODER, author of NIGHTBITCH
'Get your boarding pass out and get ready for some turbulence. Sky Daddy is insane'
GARY SHTEYNGART, author of OUR COUNTRY FRIENDS
'This book is a dog whistle for the true freaks - never have I felt so seen! I loved it'
RITA BULLWINKEL, author of the Booker Prize-longlisted HEADSHOT
'Hilarious, refreshing, and perverse . . . Do not miss this flight'
HENRY HOKE, author of OPEN THROAT
Linda makes $20 an hour as a content moderator, flagging comments that violate a tech conglomerate's terms and conditions. Each night, she returns to the windowless room in a garage that she rents from a family who pretend she isn't there.
But once a month, she escapes to San Francisco International Airport for a clandestine meeting on the cheapest flight out that night. Linda's secret is that she's sexually attracted to planes: their intelligent windscreens, sleek fuselages and powerful engines make her feel a way that no human lover ever could.
Linda believes her destiny is to someday 'marry' one of her suitors by dying in a plane crash, a catastrophic event that would unite her with her soulmate plane for eternity. So when her co-worker Karina invites her to join a group of women using vision boards to manifest their desires, she can't resist the chance to hasten her romantic fate. However, as the vision boards seem to manifest items more quickly - and more literally - than Linda had expected, the carefully balanced elements of her life begin to spin out of her control, and she must choose between maintaining the trappings of normalcy or launching herself headlong towards her greatest dream.©2025 Kate Folk (P)2025 Hodder & Stoughton Limited
Critic reviews
'Delightfully weird and totally electric. As arresting as g-forces during takeoff, Kate Folk's Sky Daddy is excellent, and protagonist Linda is one of the most memorable and engaging characters I've come across in a long time. A captivatingly original and uproarious love letter to the strange forces of desire and destiny that drive and connect all of us' (Gina Chung, author of SEA CHANGE)
'Get on board already, Sky Daddy is absurd and poignant, hilarious and gruesome, razor-sharp and tender-hearted. From here on out I'm reading anything and everything with Kate Folk's name on it '(Lily Brooks-Dalton, author of GOOD MORNING, MIDNIGHT)
'Sky Daddy is the page-turning tale of a self-destructive love affair between a woman and her romantic obsession: a Boeing 737 named N92823. With this brilliant deep dive into the irrational abyss of obsession, Kate Folk proves herself to be a truly original new voice in fiction' (Mat Johnson, author of DARK RAIN)
