When I read Bostrom’s first book Sugar Birds, I so enjoyed her complex characters, particularly Burnaby, a highly intelligent, awkward, autistic boy, who develops a deep bond with Celia Burke. What a joy to meet these same characters again in the pages of Leaning on Air. Grown-up Burnaby exudes such wisdom, self-awareness, and logical thinking, all traits that give him an unusual strength. As he and Celia weave their adult lives together, they discover how their differences pull them together but also pull them apart.

Once again, Bostrom masterfully crafts compassionate, complex characters set against a rich sensory landscape—the Palouse region in southeast Washington.
