In 1940, Iris James serves as the postmistress in Franklin, Massachusetts, privy to the townspeople's secrets. Her routine is disrupted when she intercepts and reads a letter, an act that sets events in motion. Meanwhile, Frankie Bard broadcasts from overseas, reporting on the nightly bombings of London by Nazi forces. While many in Franklin remain detached from the war, both Iris and Frankie understand its encroaching reality. This novel explores the contrasting worlds of wartime violence and willful ignorance, focusing on two women tasked with delivering news but struggling to do so.
