Sous le soleil de mes cheveux blonds

The friendship between two women, based on mistrust, fascination, betrayal and the unspoken. Brigitte and Brune are opposites in every way, but as soon as they meet at high school they become best friends. They promise each other that together they can do anything. Bamboozling their way through the wild teenage years, these two comets discover the pleasures of love, dancing, laughter and drinking till dawn while they dream of their future lives. But one strange summer day it all suddenly stops. Without any explanation, Brigitte breaks off their friendships and disappears. Brune simply has to cauterise the wound. Years go by, she turns thirty and finds she's pregnant. It's at this point that Brigitte, who she hasn't heard a word from, comes back to haunt her: in her dreams, her lost friend is also expecting a baby. Through this parallel, dreamed pregnancy, Brune retraces their friendship in the hopes of understanding what came between them. Agathe Ruga gave up her career as a dentist to write a very popular literary blog. Sous le soleil de mes cheveux blonds is her debut novel.
