About this listen
Brought to you by Penguin.
From internationally bestselling author John Boyne, a contemplative story about one man trying to move forward from the trauma of his youth to become a better father to his son.
Being in limbo, 30,000 feet in the air, offers time to reflect and take stock. For Aaron Umber, it’s an opportunity to connect with his 14-year-old son as they travel halfway across the world to meet a woman who isn’t expecting them.
Unsettled by his past, and anxious for his future, Aaron is at a crossroads in life. The damage inflicted upon him during his youth has made him the man he is, but now threatens to widen the growing fissures between him and his only child. This trip could bind them closer together, or tear them further apart.
In this penetrating examination of action and consequence, fault and attribution, acceptance and resolution, John Boyne gives us a redemptive story of a father and a son on a moving journey to mend their troubled lives.

A beautiful ending to the series
There doesn’t seem to age or demographic that John Boyne can’t write. Ive loved the Elements series and this was a perfect ending to it, my favourite of all 4 novels.

Love John Boyne and his work.
Another story you can just get lost in. I definitely have to go back and listen to the four again to connect it all properly

Outstanding
'Air' is a deeply satisfying conclusion to an excellent quartet from the incomparable John Boyne. Having listened to the four audiobooks as they were released I am tempted to go back and listen to them all again in order to both enjoy them again but also to link all the pieces of the puzzle that are skilfully embedded within. I would also love to see all four novels published in a single edition and a quality streaming service would be able to make a riveting series for us to further enjoy.

Full circle
This book is a great cherry on top. Some of the books in this series have been incredibly hard to read and even to understand why John Boyne chose to take certain characters in a specific direction. But this is perfect. We end where we began. I enjoyed observing the father son relationship and exploring the family dynamics. It’s a great send off to the elements series.
