The Postmistress by Sarah Blake

Iris, the postmistress in a small Massachusetts town, and Frankie, an ambitious journalist working for Edward R Murrow in London, experience World War II very differently. As fate weaves their stories together both are touched by their experiences in ways both harrowing and enriching.

This novel brings to life rich characters and illustrates the struggles faced by civilians in this country and in Europe during a crucial time in our shared history.
