Plot summary

Birgitta Lövgren works as a secretary for the publisher Per-Axel Dahlander. Under the pseudonym Eurydice, she writes a romance novel, which she sends to Anders Dahls publishing house anonymously. The story circles around a nurse who has increasingly drifted away from her husband and is harbouring warm feelings towards her boss. To twist everything around Birgitta's husband's mistress, Vera Alm, claims that she has written the novel.
