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.
