Bookseller recommendation

“Another magical reality story, a genre that is becoming a favorite of mine! This is a unique, twisty, brain-busting time travel/love story that follows the strange Farrow women (and in particular, June Farrow) and their complex family history. Set in the Blue Ridge Mountains of North Carolina this is a totally immersive experience that stole my heart - WOW!! I haven't said much about the plot deliberately as this is the sort of book that you should go into blind, with no expectations. Then hopefully it will take your breath away like it did mine!”

Bookseller recommendation

“This book gave me Time Traveler's Wife vibes in all the best ways: time travel plus an epic love story makes for a mind-bending narrative with all the feels. I loved getting to know the Farrow women and spending time in Young's North Carolina with Pressley's heavenly southern accents. Oh, and there's a murder mystery! It kept me guessing to the very end. ”

Summary

NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • A woman risks everything to end her family’s centuries-old curse, solve her mother’s disappearance, and find love in this mesmerizing novel from the author of Spells for Forgetting.

“Come for the fresh twist on time travel; stay for the love story.”—Good Housekeeping

A GOOD HOUSEKEEPING AND SHE READS BEST BOOK OF THE YEAR

In the small mountain town of Jasper, North Carolina, June Farrow is waiting for fate to find her. The Farrow women are known for their thriving flower farm—and the mysterious curse that has plagued their family line. The whole town remembers the madness that led to Susanna Farrow’s disappearance, leaving June to be raised by her grandmother and haunted by rumors.

It’s been a year since June started seeing and hearing things that weren’t there. Faint wind chimes, a voice calling her name, and a mysterious door appearing out of nowhere—the signs of what June always knew was coming. But June is determined to end the curse once and for all, even if she must sacrifice finding love and having a family of her own.

After her grandmother’s death, June discovers a series of cryptic clues regarding her mother’s decades-old disappearance, except they only lead to more questions. But could the door she once assumed was a hallucination be the answer she’s been searching for? The next time it appears, June realizes she can touch it and walk past the threshold. And when she does, she embarks on a journey that will not only change both the past and the future, but also uncover the lingering mysteries of her small town and entangle her heart in an epic star-crossed love.

With The Unmaking of June Farrow, Adrienne Young delivers a brilliant novel of romance, mystery, and a touch of the impossible—a story you will never forget.
