One tug of one thread will find it unravelling on the floor. The plot of The Lemoncholy Life of Annie Aster reminds me of a loosely knitted scarf. I hate to sound so vague when writing a review but the plot does centre around a murder mystery and how this impacts Annie in her current timeline. Little do this trio of characters realise what awaits them on the other side of the wheat field but it will irrevocably change all their lives forever. Fate enters his life in the form of the hunky gardener who befriends him. Both his injuries and his stutter has caused him to retreat from life around him and into his books. He has a profound stutter resulting from a terrible car accident. When Annie sends Elsbeth to investigate the murder of a popular magician she doesn't realise the how this will change her life and give her the opportunity to discover who she is and where she comes from.Īnnie shares her story with her best friend Christian. The pair start to exchange letters and develop a friendship that transcends both time and space. At the other end of the field, 200 years in the past, lives the cantankerous schoolmarm Elsbeth. Of course, it isn't just any Kansas wheat field.

Her new back door doesn't open up into her garden but rather, into a Kansas wheat field.

Annie Aster leads a rather solitary life in modern day San Francisco until the purchase of an antique door opens up a whole new world.
