Sarah Blake coming to SA
The Postmistress
has been shortlisted for the
2010 Exclusive Books Boeke Fiction Prize.
ABOUT THE BOOK:
“One of those rare books that when I wasn’t reading it, I was thinking about it” –Kathryn Stockett,
author of The Help
Letters of love, telegrams of loss – the postmistress awaits
them all.
The wireless crackles with news of blitzed-out London and of the Second World War which is coursing 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 Bard, 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?
The Postmistress is a sweeping, romantic and harrowing tale of three unforgettable women, war torn fates and of what happens when those we love leave us behind.
ABOUT THE AUTHOR:
Sarah Blake lives in Washington, D.C., with her husband, the poet Josh Weiner, and their two sons.
