Jay has always envied her cousin Delphine. While Jay was brought up in a large, noisy and chaotic family, Delphine was indulged, perfectly dressed with an immaculate wardrobe and dancing lessons. Now Jay lives happily with her husband and their three children, running a successful company, while Delphine has long since disappeared to Australia with her second husband. But Jay still wonders if she should be more like her cousin - utterly well-organized and with a size ten figure. So Jay decides to diet. When Delphine reappears, with the same old air of apparently effortless superiority, the old envy returns - but who exactly is envious of whom?
