Will a chance encounter with a stranger completely wreck Elyse's safe but stale life? Intense, honest and sexy - an irresistible, smart and thought-provoking novel about a woman exploring what's missing in her marriage.

Thirty-something Elyse is happy with her life. That is to say, she's not actively unhappy. She's got a reliable husband, a daughter she loves, a comfortable home and a seemingly full life, and she knows she should be grateful. But a chance encounter with a stranger on an aeroplane sends her into an emotional tailspin, and-intensely, quickly, unexpectedly-she steps through all the instincts that say 'no' and instead lets 'yes' happen.

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. There are consequences for all who have an investment in Elyse's life continuing as normal. But is 'normal' what she really wanted after all? In the end it will take an extraordinary leap of faith for Elyse to find-and follow-her own path to happiness.

Witty, smart and thought provoking, Love in Mid Air is a bittersweet plum of a book.

'Funny, sexy, heartbreaking, wise, Love in Mid Air is the kind of novel you will stay up late for. I read the first page and was hooked, I couldn't put it down.' - Dawn Clifton Tripp, author of Season of Open Water

      Starred review from January 4, 2010
      Wright hits it out of the park in her debut, an engaging account of a woman contemplating divorce. Despite finally getting her husband, Phil, to attend counseling sessions with her, Elyse Bearden realizes her marriage is dead in the water. Though Phil’s a doting father and a decent man, he’s also the occasional jerk who snickers at his wife in lingerie and is generally indifferent to her. Elyse already knows she’s going to leave her husband when she meets Gerry Kincaid and soon begins an affair that allows her to escape from the crushing banality of her suburban life. Serving as Elyse’s foil is her beautiful best friend, Kelly, now married to an older, wealthy man. While the idea of housewives complaining about their husbands over lunch may strike some as a conventional hen-lit trope, Wright conveys friendships and the blasé everyday with authenticity and telling detail, while passages depicting Elyse’s inner life are rife with the same wit and insight that infuse the dialogue. Though this story is one that readers may have seen many times before, Wright delivers fresh perspective and sympathetic characters few writers can match.
