#paperback#novel In 1940, Irish James is the postmistress in coastal Franklin, Massachusetts. Iris knows more about the towns people than she will ever say...for example, that Emma has come to marry the town’s doctor, and that Harry watches the ocean for U-boats. Iris believes her job is to deliver secrets. Yet one day she does the unthinkable...she slipped so let her into her pocket, reads it, and doesn’t deliver it. (Wear to paperback cover.
