Back to her Future

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.

Divorced and wealthy, she is 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 nostalgia weekend, complete with a George Michael look-a-like.

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

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 resilent hreoines, nostalgic interludes and transformative epiphanies, then you'll love The Gen X Series.
