Summary

Miss Hawkins looked at her watch. It was 2.30. If everything went according to schedule, she could safely reckon to be dead by 6 o'clock. But by the day's end, events have taken a dramatic turn and Miss Hawkins is sentenced to live. Forcibly retired, she is presented with a 5-year diary. Programmed since childhood to total obedience, Miss Hawkins slavishly follows her diary's commands until the impossible happens - she meets a man. As a last reprieve from the horrors of loneliness she embarks on a full-scale mission to taste life's secret pleasures - and pains - until the cup runs dry.
