Parachutes & Kisses
Isadora Wing, a 39-year-old writer, navigates the tumultuous waters of love, motherhood, and self-identity following her divorce.
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?
With eloquence and savage wit, Jong details Isadora's journey marked by her struggles with aging, the responsibilities of motherhood, and the societal expectations placed upon women in the 1980s, while also delving into the intricacies of modern romance and examining the fine line between passion and companionship.
