Lisa Sherwin is a young and spirited fine-arts graduate. She has her own flat, a small but expanding antiques business and a healthy interest in sex. She is due to marry her wealthy, rugby-playing fianc , Paul, in a matter of weeks but as the day draws closer she's having second thoughts, especially as he wants her to give up work and sees her sexual needs as unimportant.The rural English village in which they live is home to some eccentric and bohemian characters including the passionate and cultured David Maccabene, who introduces Lisa to new ways of thinking and kinky ways of loving. In a bid to escape the stuffy conservatism of Paul's overbearing family, Lisa seeks satisfaction and help from her new-found friends. She manages this with alacrity, outraging her future in-laws and finding talents she never knew she had.By the best-selling author of Country Matters.
