About This Item
NEW YORK: New American Library, 1984. FIRST EDITION. Hardcover. Very Good/Very Good. Pages lightly age-tanned. Signed by author on title page. Isadora, the sexually-liberated protagonist of FEAR OF FLYING, is "...back -- and she's trying to have it all. Career. Baby. Liberated Love Life. But the times have changed. And the dreams of the '60's have curdled into the grim (and rollicking) realities of the eighties..."
Synopsis
Married (again) and divorced (again), Isadora Wing is a single parent with an adorable daughter, an irritating ex-husband, and a startling assortment of suitors: an unorthodox rabbi, a poetic disc jockey, the son of a famous sex therapist, and WASPily handsomest of all: Berkeley Sproul III. Isadora and Berkeley meet at a health club, and he's fourteen years her junior. Of course their affair is tortuous and sexy, but is it love? Or does the stud just want a free trip to Venice, compliments of a famous author? Either way, Erica Jong wrote this romance with "a mixture of eloquence and savage wit as good as anything she has ever written," said The Wall Street Journal .
