Yasmin and U seem like the perfect twenty-first century media couple. She’s a scriptwriter for soaps and he’s a magazine editor with a knack for tapping into the latest trends. Then, one evening, U confesses to Yasmin that he’s ‘having a thing’ with a nineteen-year-old violinist – the precocious niece of Yasmin and U’s old boss, the formidable Pandora Fairchild. Amelia, the violinist, turns out to be a catalyst for a whole series of erotic experiments that even Yasmin finds intriguing. In a haze of absinthe, lust and wild abandon, all parties find answers to questions about their sexuality they were once too afraid to ask.
