Antonia (Tony), Karen (Charis), and Roz are three 50-ish Toronto friends, pals since college, all of whom have had to negotiate (and none too well) the treacheries of another friend, Zenia - someone who in the past has stolen a significant man from each of the others. But Zenia, they are led to understand, has been dead for some years - blown up in a Beirut bomb blast; they had carefully attended, together, her memorial service to make doubly sure. Yet why does the very selfsame Zenia now appear across the room one afternoon at a restaurant where the three women are lunching? It creates turmoil. Tony, a college military historian with a composer husband and an annoying tic of spelling words backwards; doggedly hippie Charis, New Age survivor of incest, and lover of a US draft-dodger; and Roz, power-businesswoman despite herself, wife of a sad-sack philanderer - all of the massed trio view Zenia not only as a communal threat, but as a chastening, changeable contrast to the courses of their own lives.
