What is the plot of Claire and Eva?
Claire, a high-society woman desperately running away from her controlling, abusive husband, is at the airport awaiting her flight when she meets a widow named Eva, who's also seeking a new life. The two impulsively decide to exchange plans and plane tickets — then Eva dies in the plane crash. Claire takes on her identity, and discovers that the woman harbored some dangerous secrets. It's a twisty tale that manages to be both shocking and poignant, about the whims of fate, seeking independence, and the nature of identity. (Don't confuse this with a similarly titled book that came out at nearly the same time, Her Last Flight by Beatriz Williams — though that novel is also quite good.)
