What We Thought:
This take on 'Back to the Future' has much charm and character, not least the setting of Brooklyn in two different eras. It's flawed, certainly, but the central idea comes through.
Luna and her sister Pia fly to Brooklyn from Britain after their mother's suicide. Officially, they have come to sell her house. Luna's instinct tells her the old house contains more than dust and spiders. Memories claim her, she assumes from family photographs and old stories. Then she meets Riss.
This is a story of wish fulfillment. Don't we all imagine we might be able to go back and change the past to affect the future? It has tension, mystery and some strong characterisations, but meanders and circles on occasion. One to read on the beach.
