THE VANISHING OF JOSEPHINE REYNOLDS

After the death of her young husband, Josephine Reynolds decides her life needs a major change, so she buys her ancestors' old mansion in the historic heart of Nashville. Kathleen McInerney tells Josephine's story as she replaces the mansion's inappropriately modern front door with an antique version that fits perfectly. McInerney describes Josephine's astonishment when she walks through that door to find herself in a roaring '20s version of the home and meeting her charming great-grandmother. Although McInerney's pace and articulation are pleasant, her voice isn't fully believable for the dialogue of women who are in their 30s. But the mysterious logic of time travel is the main interest of this novel, and McInerney describes it well. N.M.C. © AudioFile 2025, Portland, Maine [Published: MARCH 2025]
