In “Amelia” la Mitchell si identifica con Amelia Earhart (1897-1937), la leggendaria pioniera dell’aviazione, scomparsa misteriosamente durante un tentativo di circumnavigazione del globo. Attraverso la sua figura, Joni riflette su sé stessa, sulla sua vita spesa “ad altitudini ghiacciate” e sul suo difficile rapporto con l’amore.
