The Postmistress

The Postmistress - Sarah Blake, Orlagh Cassidy Just finished this book and I loved it! This book follows 2 story lines that come together. One story is about Frankie Bard, a tough female radio reporter who goes to Europe with the goal of telling America the horrors of Hitler's attack on London - hoping to incite Americans out of their complacency and join the Allies in the war. The other story is about a small town in Cape Cod, Franklin, Massachusetts, and how the inhabitants' lives change with the impending war. I loved the characters and the theme of people being part of a whole, even when they feel they are alone. Absolutely stunning book. I read an advanced copy - it releases in February. I can't wait to hear the audio version - this book is going to be a hit!
