The Postmistress Of Puddlington eBook

Courage, love and survival . . . its all in a letter.

1934, Dorset. Nothing gives postmistress Hester Smith greater joy than cycling through the idyllic village of Puddlington, delivering the mail to her neighbours. Bookish Hester has always felt privileged to witness the highs and lows a single letter can bring.

But when war comes to Puddlingtons shores five years later, Hester suddenly finds herself in the devastating position of delivering news that no one should hear. As the community is directly impacted by tragedy on the battlefield and a shocking death occurs in the village, Hesters spirit and resolve are tested like never before.

Can she and her fellow Puddlington women, including the vicars wife and the bohemian lady of the manor, find the courage to face their darkest times and come through a storm that will change their lives for ever?

This moving, heartbreaking and life-affirming novel set in an English village during World World II is a must-read for fans of The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society by Mary Ann Shaffer and Annie Barrows.
