Love in Mid Air - Kim Wright (2010)
Elyse realises that her marriage has failed - it's just she needs to let her perfectly nice husband Phil know. She meets Gerry on a flight and after he leaves her with a passionate kiss and his business card, they embark on an intense affair. But as Elyse's friends tell her: "In novels women run off with their lovers. In real life women stay." As Elyse contemplates ending her marriage - she only earns a bit of money from her pottery; she's got their daughter Tory to consider - the couple end up in counselling. This is one sharp debut about a wife in a stale marriage trying to let some fresh air into her life.
Love in Mid Air, by Kim Wright, focuses on a marriage break-up. The summary says: "A chance encounter with a stranger in an airplane sends Elyse Bearden into an emotional tailspin. Suddenly, she is willing to risk everything: her safe but stale marriage, her seemingly perfect life in an affluent Southern suburb, and her position in the church. As Elyse embarks on a risky affair, her longtime friend Kelly and the other women in their book club begin to question their own decisions about love, sex, marriage and freedom. In the end it will take an extraordinary leap of faith for Elyse to find - and follow - her own path to happiness." Wright is a travel, food and wine journalist. Love in Mid Air is out in March.
