The physics-bending charm of THE TIME TRAVELER'S WIFE meets the curious mischief of THE EYRE AFFAIR Annie has discovered a curious thing behind her home in San Francisco--a letterbox perched atop a picket fence. The note inside is blunt--trespass is dealt with at the business end of a shotgun in these parts!--and mysterious, given that Annie didn't know she owned a letterbox or a fence. Unconventional and enchanting, this debut novel is the tale of Annie and her new neighbor, a truculent schoolmarm living in nineteenth century Kansas. Together they must solve the mystery of what connects them before one of them is convicted of a crime that has yet to happen and somehow already did.
