I
came across this book when I was working at a very boring job that allowed me
to listen to headphones and I decided to listen to a book on tape. The
Postmistress was the book that I chose and from the beginning, it transported
me out of the basement room where I was working in alongside 100 other people.
I didn't want the book to end. I chose it for book club as it is one
of the books that I took from Grandma's stash - so I know she read it. I
thought it was the kind of book she would have liked. I also wanted to
read it this time and see if it gave a different experience. What hit me
initially was the violence, death and sadness - but then I was once again drawn
in to the stories of the women and the people. I love a book that you don't
want to turn the last page on, and The Postmistress was that kind of book, for
me.
