About this listen

Meryem has learned to look out for number one.

Abducted as a teenager from England to Turkey, thirty years later she is finally free to live life on her own terms.

She is divorced and wealthy, working a lucrative job in Dubai, when a whispered confession from her dying father turns her world upside down, and sets her on a path to discover the truth.

The first step is a return to London, and her childhood friends, Alma and Sammy, with whom she embarks upon an impromptu 80s weekend.

But the women, once so close, struggle to reconnect as forgotten memories and shocking revelations surrounding Meryem's abduction tear open unhealed wounds.

Beautifully and boldly written, Cary J Hansson merges history, everyday circumstances and aching tragedy into an unforgettable narrative.

Back to Her Future is the compelling first novel in The Gen X Series of women’s contemporary fiction. If you like scarred but resilient heroines, nostalgic interludes, and transformative epiphanies, then you’ll love The Gen X Series.

The characters felt real and identifiable, I wanted to know and understand their lives, and what had brought them to the present. A deeply satisfying story, impeccably read, there was humour and sadness, and above all the love and support of good friends. The slow burn created just the right amount of tension and suspense . Highly recommended.

I loved this book …..Each characters experiences were believable and so sad yet with so much hope at the end … similar things have happened to so many families … tragic! I thought the writer captured everyone’s point of view in a touching way and showed that life goes on through the most awful times with survivors overcoming terrible things … well done Cary … I really enjoyed this book.

Heartbreaking and so thought provoking
