Sixty-three year old Dulcie Ballantyne had made a lifelong habit of not making drama of the unexpected. "Overreaction serves no purpose other than to make a difficult situation a lot worse." Her lover, Richard, has suffered a heart attack and, as his mistress, she is shut out of the information loop. Richard is committed to his wife and two sons and their relationship is mutually acceptable. Ever one to try new experiences, Dulcie has started a Writer's Group. The group members - Victor, Jack, Jaz, Beth, and Dulcie, are cast in detail and we are are privy to their troubles. All, except Victor perhaps, are in the group for the fun, challenge, and escapism it offers. I highly recommend this one for its in-depth characterization and the triumphs and troubles of a group of admirable, lovable individuals. If you are not inspired to join a Writer's Group immediately, I would very surprised.
