書中描寫的作家陳心忆是主人公"我"熟悉的朋友，他有個性有理想有追求，但由於一生陷入感情漩渦，許多時間跟女人糾纏不清，結婚多次卻並沒有找到真愛，而身心疲憊也影響了事業，雖然出了幾本書，最終一事無成。
而書中塑造的畫家"我"離婚後，繼續國畫學習，且重新拜了先生，由於刻苦鑽研，樂此不疲，事業上有所建樹，卻一直沒有遇上合適的物件。
數年後與前妻卓林燕重婚，不久有了孩子（之前沒有孩子），過起了正常生活。由此"我"的中國畫藝術達到了一定的高度，在這領域也算一位成功人士。
此外，書中描寫的董先生夫婦，因為小保姆許桂芳的緣故，夫婦倆感情陷入危機；而"我"的姐姐姐夫也一度出現感情糾葛、接近離婚邊緣。而"我"的哥嫂一度也是如此，最後兩人關係轉危為安......
小說情節貼近生活，細節真實感人，可讀性強。必須指出的是情節和人物雖然来自生活，然小說故事均為虛構，請讀者朋友不要對號入座。
