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.

Originally published in 1973, the groundbreaking, uninhibited story of Isadora Wing and her desire to fly free caused a national sensation. In The New York Times, Henry Miller compared it to his own classic, Tropic of Cancer and predicted that "this book will make literary history..." It has sold more than 12-million copies. Now, after 30 years, the revolutionary novel known as Fear of Flying still stands as a timeless tale of self-discovery, liberation, and womanhood.
