The Postmistress – Sarah Blake

What would happen if a postmistress chose not to deliver the mail? In The Postmistress Sarah Blake tells a story often too hard to bear about how so many people still have to deal with the fact that their loved ones go off to war, while everyone else’s ordinary lives continue.

Letters of love, telegrams of loss – the postmistress awaits them all. The wireless crackles with news of blitzed-out London and of the war that courses through Europe, leaving destruction in its wake. Listening intently on the other side of the Atlantic, newly-wed Emma considers the fragility of her peaceful married life as America edges closer to the brink of war.

As the reporter’s distant voice fills the room, she sits convincing herself that the sleepy town of Franklin must be far beyond the war’s reach. But the life of American journalist Frankie, whose voice seems so remote, will soon be deeply entangled with her own. With the delivery of a letter into the hands of postmistress Iris, the fates of these three women become irrevocably linked. But while it remains unopened, can Iris keep its truth at bay?
