Everyone knows you can't go back. Everyone except Mary apparently, because here she is ' back in her old hometown. That's because of two women ' Kui and Ana. One of them is pushing her, the other is holding back, and between the two there's much to be resolved. The plum tree and the manuka have gone, but a lemon tree thrives. The mystery of the Marakihau may never be solved; but if Ana returns, their 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. -
