Her hope and selfconfidence badly shattered bu school, marriage and life, she is reduced to talking to the kitchen wall whilst preparing her husband's evening meal - to be on the table as he opens the front door every night. As she sips a glass of wine she dreams of drinking in a country where the grape is grown. Her feminist friend offers her a holiday in Greece and, with great trepidation and a lot of forward planning, Shirley seizes the opportunity and goes, to encounter a totally different lifestyle. Shirley, breaking out of the mould casr for her by society, is brilliantly shown with humour, warm sympathy and human insight.
