Magical Time Travel read
Narrated by Brittany Presley

Narration was well done.

A magical realism novel, The Unmaking of June Farrow focuses on a family curse that has caused the Farrow women to exist in two times at once—time travel. A small-time setting in Jasper, NC, in 1951 and 2023. Young builds suspense about the Farrow family curse by slowly divulging information. June struggles with internal conflict.

Exploring misogyny and mob behavior in the small town of Jasper, and also connections between memory and identity.

Adrienne Young has written a new novel that will attract readers who enjoy a good mystery, and those that like a bit of time travel, and those who appreciate a good romance, and also those who want to get absorbed by a saga about a family (so pretty much everyone!)

The women of the Farrow family are all cursed. When the book opens, we are introduced to June Farrow as she buries her grandmother Margaret, and is faced with the sad realization she is the last living Farrow. Because all the females eventually submit to madness, June firmly intends to remain childless and end this bane permanently.
