Billie hates flying, so it is even more surprising that she finds herself offering to perform acrobatic stunts and wing-walking…Filled with a great cast of characters from her flatmate who runs the local beauty salon to the fellow owners of the neighbouring warehouses, from the unspeakably glamorous air engineer to her redoubtable, interfering mother, Walking on Air is Christina Jones’s most exhilarating novel.
