THE LETTER CARRIER is a moving and well-written novel. I can definitely understand why it's been a big success in Italy. The small town setting is wonderful, and the author does a terrific job of immersing the reader in the atmospheric story world, complete with just enough period details to establish this time in history. Anna's sensibilities are shocking to the small town, and I loved how, when she became the letter carrier, she made connections all over town. At times tragic and overall lovely, I highly recommend this novel for fans of literary fiction.

Thank you to the publisher and NetGalley for an advance e-galley; all opinions in my review are 100% my own.
