NATIONAL BESTSELLER
A GOOD MORNING AMERICA BOOK CLUB PICK
"With its countless epiphanies and surprises, Oona proves difficult to put down." ―USA Today
"By turns tragic and triumphant, heartbreakingly poignant and joyful, this is ultimately an uplifting and redemptive read." ―The Guardian
A
remarkably inventive novel that explores what it means to live a life
fully in the moment, even if those moments are out of order.
It’s
New Year’s Eve 1982, and Oona Lockhart has her whole life before her.
At the stroke of midnight she will turn nineteen, and the year ahead
promises to be one of consequence. Should she go to London to study
economics, or remain at home in Brooklyn to pursue her passion for music
and be with her boyfriend? As the countdown to the New Year begins,
Oona faints and awakens thirty-two years in the future in her
fifty-one-year-old body. Greeted by a friendly stranger in a beautiful
house she’s told is her own, Oona learns that with each passing year she
will leap to another age at random. And so begins Oona Out of Order...
Hopping
through decades, pop culture fads, and much-needed stock tips, Oona is
still a young woman on the inside but ever changing on the outside. Who
will she be next year? Philanthropist? Club Kid? World traveler? Wife to
a man she’s never met? Surprising, magical, and heart-wrenching,
Margarita Montimore has crafted an unforgettable story about the burdens
of time, the endurance of love, and the power of family.
