Backwards Into the Future - Bronwyn Elsmore - Bog

'A novel with the feel of a memoir about it' You can't go back, her friends say, but Mary has to do it. Going back to her old hometown is the only way she can silence a voice from the past. And find her childhood friend. One is pushing her, the other is holding back, and between the two there's much to be resolved. The plum tree has gone, but a lemon tree thrives. The mystery surrounding the boat with the painted eyes may never be solved; but perhaps a friendship and some things from the past can be recovered. Can't they? "I love Every Five Minutes from the same Author and am delighted to find this book shows her beautiful writing just as well. The characters are very real and there's a similar delicate touch to the prose. Bronwyn Elsmore has a real gift for saying just enough without too much. Backwards Into the Future is a novel with the feel of a memoir about it - I find the combination very appealing." - J.M. -
