Like the film, ‘Julie/Julia’ this book is a true
story based on the lives of two women who lived at different times and places
but who had uniquely intertwined lives. Elizabeth Spring, astrologer and aspiring
writer, finds Annie Besant because of unusual similarities in their astrology
charts. Annie was a passionate social reformer who lost custody of her children
because of distributing information on birth control in 1875. After trials and
depression, Annie becomes a passionate spiritual seeker, being mentored by the
Russian psychic Madame Blavatsky, head of the Theosophical Society. As
Elizabeth struggles to write a screenplay of Annie’s life she discovers the
heartfelt and obsessive story of Annie’s adopted son, the young mystic J.
Krishnamurti. Elizabeth questions the role of fate and reincarnation in her own
life by what she uncovers about her mysterious relationship with Annie who was
born exactly 100 years earlier, in Victorian England in 1847. ~
