THE MYTH OF YOU AND ME

When best friends fall out, the wounds are not easily healed. Cameron felt betrayed, and time has not made her more willing to forgive Sonia. But when her recently deceased boss leaves her with an obligation to find Sonia, she takes that obligation seriously. Staci Snell gives a steady, understated narration. Central to Snell's characterization of Sonia is repressed emotion, particularly restrained anger and a sense of betrayal; Cameron projects an undercurrent of longing to break loose from the limits she has placed on herself. Snell brings subtle intensity to the final confrontation between the women, followed by an interesting twist to the plot. J.E.M. © AudioFile 2006, Portland, Maine [Published: FEB/ MAR 06]
