The Postmistress by Sarah Blake

Mar. 2, 2016--San Antonio, TX

During the last four days, I read The Postmistress by Sarah Blake.  It is a fascinating story that made me not want to put it down, but that is somewhat offset by the writing being of less quality.  The story covers what is happening just before the U.S. entered World War II in both a small town at the end of Cape Cod and in London while the Blitz was occurring.  The main characters are the postmistress and her boyfriend, the town doctor and his wife, and an American reporter broadcasting by radio from London with Edward R. Murrow.  The whole novel deals with what is happening in London, what may be happening in German-occupied Europe, and what is and may be happening in the Cape Cod town.  I recommend it as a very interesting story and give it 3 stars out of 4.
