Can You Hear Me In The Back?

Lisette, an experienced travel agent, boards a plane with her new colleague, Kim, heading to Cyprus for a business trip and a few days of holiday. After working nonstop for seven months, Lisette is tempted to switch off her phone for some much-needed rest. She dozes off on the flight, but when they arrive at their hotel, something is very wrong. Their phones are dead, the hotel's décor is straight out of a time capsule, euros aren't accepted, and their visa cards are useless. Then they catch a glimpse of themselves in the mirror-only to see two much younger versions staring back.
The flight hasn't just taken them to Cyprus-it's taken them back to the summer of 1986.

Their 'holiday' is anything but relaxing. They must figure out how to survive with no money and no way to contact home. Before long, Lisette and Kim master the art of pickpocketing, pulling off burglaries, and falling for entirely the wrong men-all while cringing at past embarrassments and facing some hard truths. But as they navigate their unexpected detour through time, they slowly begin to understand what really matters in life.

A laugh-out-loud, easy-read novel that will have anyone who survived the eighties nodding in recognition, chuckling, and maybe even shedding a sentimental tear. Can You Hear Me in the Back? is a fantastic mix of romance, feel-good fun, and cosy crime. Will they ever make it back? How will they get money for food? And after reading this, will you ever dare to board a flight again?

An abandoned hotel, tanned tour guides, gold thieves, drinks decorated with umbrellas, handsome pilots, hangovers, love and complications. A classic recipe for a successful holiday!
But how do you stay calm when the world does not behave as expected? That feeling of having a bad memory, not fully understanding and a bout of déjà vu at the same time? To be able to keep what you do not know to yourself and, at the same time, appear like everything is in order. With this as a backdrop, be prepared for a journey on how the survival instinct kicks in. We may never understand forces deep down within ourselves, how the past merges with reality and even creates an understanding of the meaning of life and what is essential.
I read this genuine feel-good novel with great pleasure and went from laughing out loud to a mix of laughter blended with nostalgic teas as I walked down memory lane at a pleasant pace. Dive into this book with joy and anticipation and be prepared for a fabulous story with a twist.
