This was much better than Husband and Wife, a book that I really enjoyed. I think maybe the subject matter in The Myth of You and Me was more to my liking, but I also think that the story was told with more emotion. I liked each of the main characters in this book very much, and even when the story went in a direction that I didn't like the ending wasn't cliche or insulting. This was an honestly told story about a friendship that goes awry, and it was told in such a way that most readers, I think, can see themselves in each of the characters. Bravo, Ms. Stewart! ( ) Toen Cameron en Sonia veertien jaar waren, werden ze hartsvriendinnen. Niemand zou ooit tussen hen in komen te staan. Maar er kwam abrupt een einde aan hun vriendschap. Jaren later ontvangt Cameron een uitnodiging voor de bruiloft van Sonia. Ze besluit niets van zich te laten horen. Haar werkgever, professor Oliver Doucet, dringt erop aan de breuk te herstellen, maar Cameron is niet te vermurwen. Tot het moment waarop Oliver overlijdt en blijkt dat hij een pakje voor Sonia heeft achtergelaten. Cameron besluit om zijn laatste wens te respecteren en gaat op zoek naar Sonia, ooit haar onafscheidelijke soulmate. Beautifully written. I felt like I knew the characters. I think most people can relate to this story in some way. It's about having a best friend who really understands you, you're like sisters and you feel like you'll always be in each other's lives. It's a given. But years later, you don't even talk. Sometimes it was a huge falling out, sometimes life just changed. But either way, someone who once felt like family is no longer in your life and sometimes it's hard to imagine how important they once were to you. Cameron and Sonia are soul mates, best friends, closer than sisters. Something happened when they were in their early twenties that tore them apart. On the verge of her wedding, Sonia reaches out to Cameron. Cameron is living a pretty lonely life. She's become a caretaker to Oliver. Oliver wants her to have a life of her own. When he passes away, he leaves behind a gift for Cameron to take to Sonia. Cameron's loyalty to Oscar forces her to confront her past with Sonia. She winds up on a wild goose chase trying to find Sonia and it reconnects her to other parts of her past. It's a story of moving on, letting go, old friendship, questionable loyalties and forgiveness. I enjoyed it a lot, it was touching. I liked Cameron's journey. This is a story about friendship Cameron and Sonia are best friends when they are younger. An incident in their youth changes that. Thirty years later, Cameron is sent to track down Sonia and make amends. Cameron has no ties to anyone and doesn't feel the need to find Sonia, but it is her employer's last wish and she must honor that. A book that captures the sense of loss one feels when losing a close friend. Oh Camazon, I actually really didn't like you as a person. You are everything I am not in a lot of ways, and I had a hard time relating. In a some ways it's why I liked the book too, to change how I think about life and love and see a really complex friendship from another angle. Good story, even if I felt it dragged a tag from the get go. nessuna recensione | aggiungi una recensione
Fiction.
Literature.
"Deftly exposes the passionate and particular bonds of female friendship, from adolescence to adulthood. Poignant, fierce, and compelling, this is a story all women will recognize, and one all too rarely told.".
HTML:"In The Myth of You and Me, Leah Stewart captures, as few other writers do, the passions and pains and pleasures of friendship. . . . [A] beautifully written and suspenseful novel.".
HTML:When Cameron was fifteen, Sonia was her best friend--no one could come between them. Now Cameron is a twenty-nine-year-old research assistant with no meaningful ties to anyone except her aging boss, noted historian Oliver Doucet. When an unexpected letter arrives from Sonia ten years after the incident that ended their friendship, Cameron doesn't reply, despite Oliver's urging. But then he passes away, and Cameron discovers that he has left her with one final task: to track down Sonia and hand-deliver a mysterious package to her. Now without a job, a home, and a purpose, Cameron decides to honor his request, setting off on the road to find this stranger who was once her inseparable other half. The Myth of You and Me, the story of Cameron and Sonia's friendship--as intense as any love affair--and its dramatic demise, captures the universal sense of loss and nostalgia that often lingers after the end of an important relationship. Searingly honest, beautiful, and full of fragile urgency, The Myth of You and Me is a celebration and portrait of a friendship that will appeal to anyone who still feels the absence of that first true friend. Also available as a Random House AudioBook and an eBook From the Hardcover edition.. Non sono state trovate descrizioni di biblioteche |
