  Fear of Flying (1973) by Erica Jong  
Writer Isadora Wing visits Vienna with her psychologist husband. As her marriage breaks down, she embarks on a sexual relationship with another man.

Fear of Flying epitomised the sexual liberation of the 1970s and was a cause celebre at the time. The book was seized upon by many women who considered themselves in unfulfilled marriages.
