The Lemoncholy Life of Annie Aster is full of twist and turns you should but won't see coming.' - The Lovely Books Or is it? Well, it seems that the Universe will have to check which truths it acknowledges because all that (and more) is what Scott Wilbanks has done in the very entertaining The Lemoncholy Life of Annie Aster.

'It is a truth universally acknowledged that you can't mix a romance book, a time travel story, a Jane Austen pastiche, an epistolary novel and family drama. Wilbanks’s whimsically romantic writing style is perfect for this story of a woman out of time.

'The Lemoncholy Life of Annie Aster is a fun little time-bending mystery. Let me just say that author Scott Wilbanks lets no moss grow under the feet of the characters in this, his debut novel – how could he, with two time periods to contend with, multiple mysteries (not all of which are contingent on the space/time bubble thingy), and – oh yes – murder?
