Lila and Tom are airborne, en route to their first real holiday together since beginning their affair more than five years ago. Free, Lila things, if only for two weeks - free from the constraints of secrecy, free to act on mutual desire. Then the dramatic and unexpected happen, and Lila must look, as she has never looked before, at the grounds on which she has based her life, even as they seem to drop from beneath her. Is Tom the man she thinks he is? Is Lila the woman she wants to be? And what, after all, is freedom? Compelling and sharply drawn, Some Things about Flying cunningly dismantles male-female relationships with tremendous wit and insight. (1997)
