(Maps the progress of Jane Rosenal as she sets out on a personal & spirited expedition through the perilous terrain of sex, love, relationships, & the treacherous waters of the workplace. What is love, she wonders. How do you find it (& keep it) -- & above all, who makes the rules? When she is swept off her feet by an older man & into a world of cocktail parties & country houses, Jane learns what it means when her lover says he wants ''to do everything'' with her, & the stakes become far too high. She also learns of a drama around a Greenwich Village kitchen table, & a never-ending wedding reception. Finally, she learns not only when to fish & when to cut bait, but who really makes the rules. A compassionate comedy of manners.
