The Myth of You and Me

For any woman who has loved and lost a true best friend - or needs to remember why the one they have is so important.

When Cameron was fifteen, Sonia was her best friend and they were going to be best friends for ever. No one could come between them - until one fateful day when their friendship ended as abruptly as it began.

Now Cameron is almost 30 with no meaningful ties to anyone except her elderly boss, celebrated historian Oliver Doucet. Having led a gypsy life for the past decade, she has found a safe haven with this worldly wise and feisty 94-year-old. But her fragile peace is shattered when a letter arrives out of the blue from Sonia, ten years after the incident that ended their friendship.

Despite Oliver's urging, Cameron flatly refuses to reply. But he has the last word. When Oliver dies, he leaves Cameron with one final task: to track Sonia down and hand-deliver a mysterious package to her. Without a job, a home or a purpose, Cameron sets off to find this stranger who was once her inseparable other half.

THE MYTH OF YOU AND ME exposes the passionate and particular bonds of female friendship - as intense as and more lasting than any love affair - from adolescence to adulthood. Any woman who has ever had a best friend who was a true soul mate, someone who understands you better than any boyfriend, lover or husband, will love this story.
