The Postmistress by Sarah Blake

4.0

This book carried an onward motion with it that made it hard to put down. I got swept away on the tide of these woman's lives, especially Frankie as she made her way across Europe during the war. What stood out to me beyond the emotional impact of the story is the thread of "Ostrich Syndrome" that runs through America. Famous last words, "oh that would never happen today" as they said in 1940 while Jewish families were being massacred and so many looked the other way, unwilling to see what was happening. No one wants to believe that the world, that people, could be so cruel and heartless. Beautiful story, with a sad and solemn message. Pay attention, as Frankie says.
