The Sunday Times bestseller The Postmistress by Sarah Blake is a
heart-rending and profoundly moving story of love and loss in World
War II. It is 1940, and bombs fall nightly on London. In the thick
of the chaos is young American radio reporter Frankie Bard. She
huddles close to terrified strangers in underground shelters, and
later broadcasts stories about survivors in rubble-strewn streets.
But for her listeners, the war is far from home. Listening to
Frankie are Iris James, a Cape Cod postmistress, and Emma Fitch, a
doctor's wife. Iris hears the winds stirring and knows that soon
the letters she delivers will bear messages of hope or tragedy.
Emma is desperate for news of London, where her husband is working
- she counts the days until his return. But one night in London the
fates of all three women entwine when Frankie finds a letter - a
letter she vows to deliver . . . The Postmistress is an
unforgettable story of three women: their loves, their partings and
the secrets they must bear, or bury . . . 'A beautifully written,
though-provoking novel that I'm telling everyone to read' Kathryn
Stockett, author of The Help 'A brilliant story, beautifully
crafted, that touches the heart and captures the imagination'
Sunday Express 'Unforgettable, heart-wrenching, captivating. A
profoundly moving story of love, loss and life in war time' Sunday
Independent 'Heartbreaking' Daily Express 'A World War Two
blockbuster with echoes of Atonement' Red 'A moving tale that will
stay with you long after the final page' Good Housekeeping Sarah
Blake lives in Washington, D.C., with her husband, the poet Josh
Weiner, and their two sons.
