Postmistress


After "Major Pettigrew's Last Stand", this book has become a very highly rated favorite of mine.
Time 1940, just before the U.S. becomes involved in WWII, setting a small village on Cape Cod. One man (doctor) tied to three women (not what you're thinking).
Think Edward R Murrow in Europe trying to bring the truth of what the Nazis were really doing - most Americans really couldn't come to believe his reports. Nor could most Americans believe that they were in any danger from the German submarines..... Little did they know!
The author did much research as far as I can tell. Her writing was very smooth, and lyrical.
Consider this one if you want to read something from a new author.
