OONA OUT OF ORDER

Narrator Brittany Pressley recounts the story of Oona Lockhart and her transformative time travels. The story begins in 1982 in New York City as Oona is celebrating her nineteenth birthday on New Year's Eve and soon jumps to the year Oona is 51. As the story continues, Oona travels back and forth between various periods in her life. Using tones of both melancholy and cheerfulness, Pressley engagingly describes Oona's feelings and the unexpected changes that take place. Pressley is fluid in her descriptions and adds intrigue to each decade hop. Montimore's character-driven novel is a fresh spin on time travel and the moments of self-discovery that occur throughout a life. D.Z. © AudioFile 2020, Portland, Maine [Published: MAY 2020]
