Not Without You

Description

If you don't learn from history . . . You're destined to repeat it Not without you, she'd said. And I'd let her down... Hollywood, 1961: when beautiful, much-loved movie star Eve Noel vanishes at the height of her fame, no-one knows where, much less why. Fifty years later, another young British actress, Sophie Leigh, lives in Eve's house high in the Hollywood Hills. Eve Noel was her inspiration and Sophie, disenchanted with her life in LA, finds herself becoming increasingly obsessed with the mystery of her idol's disappearance. And the more she finds out, the more she realises Eve's life is linked with her own. As Eve's tragic past and the present start to collide, Sophie needs to unravel the truth to save them both - but is she already too late? Becoming increasingly entangled in Eve's world, Sophie must decide whose life she is really living . . .

Harriet Evans is the author of five previous novels, Going Home, A Hopeless Romantic, The Love of Her Life, I Remember You and Love Always all of which were bestsellers. She lives in London and now writes full time.
