How can one woman get into so much trouble, and yet have Lady Luck smile upon her again and again? Read on and discover a world of eroticism to rival that of Fanny Hill. A ludicrous chain of events is set in motion when she misinterprets a chance sighting of her spouse in an unexpected place. Deeper and deeper she is drawn into a web of deceit. But, who is the deceiver? Beneath the façade there are more than one. At one point I thought, Why am I being put through the torture of a series of golf matches? Could he not have brought his characters together through some other medium? Oh, well! At least it wasnt a cricket match. Anyway, it all works out for the best in the end. Her initial suspicions were unfounded, she is able to continue her newly found erotic relationships, and her spouse has become increasingly receptive to delving into more sultry interactive activities.
