Fear of Flying

Summary

The radio premiere of Erica Jong's uninhibited feminist classic about female sexuality. 

Isadora Wing has been married to psychoanalyst Bennett for five years. But she has become restless and yearns for men, for solitude, and for the perfect guiltless, ‘zipless f--k’.

Having overcome her fear of flying to travel to a conference in Vienna with Bennett, she meets a charming Englishman called Adrian Goodlove. Can he offer the sexual liberation and fulfilment she's always fantasised about?

First published in 1973, this bold and bawdy novel about a young woman's quest for sexual liberation was a controversial best seller.

Warning: contains strong language from the start.
