A hymn to love -- FAY WELDON This bold, soaring novel tackles the big stuff * * Harpers Bazaar * * Erica Jong is back - as fearless as ever * * Washington Post * * It made me feel more alive -- RACHEL JOYCE Vividly written * * The Times * * It's going to happen to all of us and yet talking about it seems taboo. Just as she once ripped the lace modesty vest off sex, Erica Jong has now exposed death in all its immodesty -- SHIRLEY CONRAN * * author of Lace * * Trailblazing in its own right * * Time Magazine * * A wise, warm, witty take on the taboo that replaced sex * * Daily Mail * * How she was able to deal with all these sensitive issues and still make the book funny is amazing. I loved reading it -- WOODY ALLEN Erica Jong has done it again! Fear of Dying is a big, bawdy, beautifully-written romp through online hookups, female friendships, children grappling with adulthood and parents negotiating with death. Fear of Dying is big, warm-hearted, generous book that will satisfy Jong's longtime fans and delight her new readers -- JENNIFER WEINER
