For readers of Maggie Smith and Carmen Maria Machado, a debut memoir about the fluidity of love and a woman's midlife quest to let go—both in jazz and in life.
Lisa—a classical pianist, wife, and mother in her midlife—yearns for something she can't define. She begins studying jazz improv with a trailblazing musician from the '70s girl band era who urges her to let go—both musically and emotionally. Their connection deepens into an intimate love, forcing Lisa to confront the unraveling of her marriage and the impact on her teenage children. Weeks before Lisa's divorce is final, an unexpected and heartbreaking diagnosis upends the women's future.
Profoundly moving, Fly, My Darling is a powerful story that captures the beauty and fluidity of love, the weight of loss, and the magical transformation that awaits when a woman longing to be free finally asks, What do I really want? Based on the author's years together with composer Lynda Roth, linked segments weave past and present in this poetic narrative rooted in music, a love story of learning to let go.
