Summary:
Flavia is a contentedly thirty year old married woman and teacher with a caring husband and a young baby, but a chance encounter in a food store with a young woman named Yip from the Mainland brings back long discarded memories and yearnings that she had kept hidden for many years. Yip is open about her sexuality and her energy and lust for life begins to push Flavia out of her easy complacency into territory that frightens her and tempts her at the same time.
