You cannot alter your past, but you can utilize the experiences you have lived to improve your future. Anna and her closest friend George meet every week to remember, to sigh, to laugh, to reminisce about their moments of glory, guilt, and mischief, and to share their sorrows over a glass or three of wine. The things they have done still make them blush. Anna always dreamed of becoming a famous poet. George left home in a childish rage and returned years later with her baby.

When Anna is asked to look after the boy across the road for a few hours each week, she is unsure. She doesn't really do children. But she takes the job on and, gradually, a child's view of her world shows her a different place.

George remembers a flat she stayed in when she ran away from home. It had the kitchen of all kitchens, and oh, how she would love to see it again. Anna sets out to see if it still exists and discovers a cookbook full of recipes, intimate notes, and drawings from George's life.

Does all this mark an ending or the beginning of something new and marvelous for Anna and George?
