Five stagnating older ladies. One outrageous book. Trouble. It is the monthly meeting of the Lunch Club, an informal gathering of five friends who live in an affluent Surrey town. Lottie has just learned that her husband of forty years is leaving her for a younger woman. Barbara, always the spark of life in the group, tries to lighten things up by presenting each lady with a little book she picked up at the supermarket checkout. 'Dr. Lovejoy's Book of Little Secrets (For Today's Silver Siren). You've got to be joking! I'm not wasting my time with such nonsense!' Jocelyn flung her copy down on the coffee table. Barbara defended her offering. 'There's rarely anything that talks to women our age about enjoying life . . . . From what I saw, this book is encouraging us to live fully and to have fun instead of always worrying about how to delay dying.' And so it is that the five of them are inspired to re-evaluate and re-define their lives. What is a Silver Siren? How does one become such a person? And what are Dr. Lovejoy's own little secrets?
