A group of journalists are in Canada for an expenses-paid cultural spree. Muriel Rowbridge is the only woman of the contingent and for her the trip has a different flavour: it is her first assignment since having a breast removed five months earlier and, amidst the male bravado, she feels vulnerable and exposed. As a fashion and beauty correspondent, Muriel knows women's indoctrination well - she feeds it to them and has swallowed it whole. What she doesn't know is how to come to terms with her changed body, the fears this unleashes about relationships, and her perception of herself as a woman. Compassionate, unsettling and beautifully constructed, My Friend Says It's Bullet-Proof is a unique and memorable account of one woman's private reckoning - a journey through anger and grief to an affirmation of her new self and her own sexuality.
