Compulsive daydreamer Isadora Wing has come to a crossroads.

Five years of marriage have made her itchy – itchy for men, and itchy for solitude. Ditching her second husband during a work conference in Vienna she decides to cut and run, criss-crossing her way across Europe in search of the perfect no-strings-attached tryst – and she won't let a little thing like a fear of flying get in her way.

Witty, fearless and exuberant, Fear of Flying remains as sensational today as when it was first published.
