Broken Wings
by Jessica Buxton
"It wasn't the flying that attracted me. It was his arrogance. All women know that an arrogant man
is both irritating and stimulating"
Jez, Audrey and Pauline. The flyer, his wife and his lover. Big people, with big lives, and fragile hearts.
The tensions between domesticity, desire and deliverance produce a final devastating truth for all three: or do they? Three separate speakers recount a broken mythology of loving and being loved, tearing the truth inside out in search of their own salvation.
Based on the real lives of the original jet set, Broken Wings is a dark, fractured romance about devotion and desertion.
