When Anne meets someone, could anyone or anything be more important than another glass of red wine, a large bar of dark chocolate and the cat?
She's in her late thirties, rather plain, and is too self-effacing to fuss about her appearance a great deal.
Anne is intelligent, observant and creative in her own little world, but she's not the sort of person who gets noticed much.
Her friends are limited to a couple of the women at work, a few at the local textile class and the neighbours on one side.
So when she meets someone, will she embrace the changes or will she follow the old maxim: "If a woman has a good cat, she doesn't need a man"?
Could she even pass the five crucial tests laid down to be a good and perfect woman?
"Red Brown Red" is full of friendship and humour, with oodles of passion, wondrous words of wisdom and bundles of love.
