Eden Sidd is an internationally famous musician, who plays the cello and composes: she is also a very beautiful woman who has never lacked for male attention. She has had countless admirers and many love affairs over the past twenty years.

Eden's passions have been music and love, ever since after losing her virginity she told her first lover "I have fallen in love with you" only to be told

"Bad idea, and you have not. You have fallen in love with sex."

Then one Thursday lunchtime, while she is eating her meal in the Tea Room in a Gloucestershire town where Eden retreats once a week to rusticate, an apparently insignificant incident has a great effect on her.

A handsome man in his thirties comes into the Tea Room from the foul weather outside, stops to remove his coat - and completely fails to notice Eden. He sits at a table elswhere in the room and does not give her so much as a glance. Most people would not have too much difficulty dealing with this, but being used to always being the centre of attention, Eden feels massively rejected and more hurt than she would have thought possible. She becomes convinced that she has passed from being a beautiful woman who everyone adores to one of "those millions of women who at a certain age become invisible to attractive men."

Eden decides that she has reached a crossroads in her life and that it is time for a fresh start - which begins with recalling memories of her past and continues with a new future ...

Entertaining, charming and a very sensual book.
