Pride Comes Before a Bedbug

Tottie famously hates flying. She's managed to avoid it for nearly twenty years.

But with the chance of an author talk and a live BBC interview back in England, can she overcome her fears and get on a flying thing once more?

More importantly, will she be able to find her way by car around Paris and to the right terminal of Europe's second busiest airport? And all with only the help of Conchita the capricious satnav.

With Tottie's familiar conversational style and touches of humour, she'll take you on a trip across three countries. With some surprises, not always welcome ones, on the way.

Fasten your seatbelts. You could be in for a bumpy ride.
