This is a gem of a book. It starts off a little slowly, but if you stick with it, you'll find it a rewarding read. Set in the USA and Europe during World War II, the Postmistress focuses on the lives of a newlywed Emma, postmistress Iris and radio reporter Frankie Bard. The author weaves a lovely web that ties all of the characters together. This novel is about love, suffering, patriotism, duty, honor and fate. The author is quite talented and really makes you feel as if you are in the story watching it unfold. I would highly recommend this novel.
