In the late 1950's Eve Noel was an actress, When Sophie was
growing up she watched Eve's movies, and wanted to be as
great an actress as she believed Eve to be. Now it is 2012
and Sophie is an actress. Her movie choices are very similar
to the ones that Eve made.
Sophie is getting tired of making the same type of movie,
always being the girlfriend that gets hurt in the end.
Sophie would like to make a movie about Eve's life, but her
agent doesn't think this would be a good career move.
Sophie is making a movie where she believes that Eve would
be be perfect to play the part slated for an older actress.
Sophie sets out to try and get a hold of any one who could
possibly get her in touch with Eve.
Sophie's big problem right now is that someone is stalking
her. This person has gotten into her home and has damaged
her property. The stalker has left several messages that
have threatened Sophie's life. The police have no clues as
to who this might be. Sophie will not let this deter her
attempt to find Eve.
In the mean time, we find out that Eve's sister, who she
thought she had
lost in a drowning accident is alive and well.
Eve's parents had put her sister Rose in a home, feeling she
was not the same after the accident. Now Eve and her sister
Rose live together in a small England town.
Harriet Evans combines the story line of two old movies, it
reminds me of The Two Faces of Eve, and the other one, which
has been made over several times, is A Star is Born. I
really enjoy both of these movies, so it was really
interesting how she combined them to write NOT WITHOUT YOU.
HOW CAN THE WHOLE WORLD KNOW YOU WHEN YOU HARDLY KNOW
YOURSELF?
Sophie Leigh’s real name is Sophie Sykes. But she hasn’t
been called that for years, not since she became an A-list
movie star. Living in Los Angeles, she can forget all about
the life she left behind in England. But she’s lost
something of herself in the process, too.
Glamorous 1950s starlet Eve Noel had none of Sophie’s modern
self-confidence. She didn’t choose her name. A Hollywood
producer did. In fact, he made all her decisions—what to
wear, when to smile, who to love. Right up until the day she
simply vanished from the spotlight. No one knows where she
went, or why.
As Sophie’s perfect-on-the-outside world begins to crumble,
her present collides with Eve’s past. She must unravel the
mystery around her idol’s disappearance before it’s too late
for them both.
