This book is well written with the plot well planned.  The main character is a 67-year-nurse that questions her marriage, her relationship with an old high school friend, her daughter's role in her life, and her life's destiny.  Her best friend reads her astrological chart and provides guidance through each subject and situation as she begins communication with her old friend, travels to major world cities to meet with him, and along the way meets a new friend.The reader will quickly learn that the story is pure fiction with the actions of this supposedly-67-year-old female with the thoughts, physical attributes and actions of a much more emotionally-immature woman.  One would never expect this experienced nurse to act the way this divorced and re-married woman acts, particularly taking off and traveling to Paris for two weeks and meeting with her new male friend even as her relatively-new lover also flies to meet her for an illicit tryst.  In the meantime, her erstwhile beloved husband is almost entirely ignorant of all her actions, only beginning to take notice after she visits her daughter and comes back with a new look in her eye.  How could he have noticed that look if he had never been there to see her eyes in the past?  And, no man would have missed the woman she made herself into at one point in the book, no matter how involved he was with golf and his poker buddies.There are some descriptive love scenes, but little else to recommend in the story line.  The writing is good, but the story is a bit too over the top for this reader's tastes.
