Полли забыла, все забыла... Пять долгих и удивительных лет дружбы с Томом, их переписку, истории, которые они сочиняли вместе и которые почему-то оказывались правдой, головокружительные приключения, встречи и разлуки, радости и обиды, угрозы его родных, настаивавших, чтобы они перестали встречаться... и то, как она сама согласилась забыть его.
