Your Friend and Mine

Margot is very surprised when she receives a message from her former friend, Tess, especially as Tess has been dead for many years. When she knew that she was dying from cancer Tess had left instructions with her solicitor to contact Margot and her step-brother, Leo, twenty years after her death. Tess wanted Margot to come to London for a holiday, something that had been planned many years previously but never eventuated.

Margot and her partner own a busy restaurant which Tess is reluctant to leave, but she eventually sets off to London to discover what Tess had planned. Leo is also reluctant to embark on his step-sister's scheme but soon finds himself involved in the projects that Tess has set for them to do. Before long Margot and Leo learn more about Tess and also have the opportunity to reflect on their own lives and changes that they might make.

Your Friend and Mine by Australian author Jessica Dettmann is a book about relationships, past and present. Margot and Leo learn much more about the life of their former friend and sister as well as forming a better understanding of past decisions they have made. It is a book about friendship and hope for a different, positive future.
