Описание: The New York Times bestseller- "A beautifully written, thought-provoking novel." -#1 New York Times bestselling author Kathryn Stockett. In 1940, Iris James is the postmistress in coastal Franklin, Massachusetts. Iris knows more about the townspeople than she will ever say, and believes her job is to deliver secrets. Yet one day she does the unthinkable: slips a letter into her pocket, reads it, and doesn't deliver it. Meanwhile, Frankie Bard broadcasts from overseas with Edward R. Murrow. Her dispatches beg listeners to pay heed as the Nazis bomb London nightly. Most of the townspeople of Franklin think the war can't touch them. But both Iris and Frankie know better... The Postmistress is a tale of two worlds-one shattered by violence, the other willfully naive-and of two women whose job is to deliver the news, yet who find themselves unable to do so. Through their eyes, and the eyes of everyday people caught in history's tide, it examines how stories are told, and how the fact of war is borne even through everyday life. Watch a Video

Описание:
"The story of the Miltons engages not just with history and politics, but with the poetry of the physical world. This novel sets out to be more than a juicy family saga--it aims to depict the moral evolution of a part of American society. Its convincing characters and muscular narrative succeed on both counts." --Kirkus Reviews (starred review) History lies in the cracks between...
No. A simple word uttered on a summer porch in 1936 will haunt Kitty Milton for the rest of her life. Kitty and her husband Ogden both come from families used to running the country, believing themselves in the right, their lineage and their power hanging lightly on their shoulders. But it is this refusal that will come to be Kitty's defining moment, a moment she can never take back, and which will ripple through the Milton family for generations. For while they summer on their island in Maine, the winds of change are beginning to stir overseas, change they refuse to see, anchored as they are to the way things have always been.
The way things have always been is exactly what Kitty and Ogden's children, the generation of the 50s, want to blow free of. In New York City, Joan has a job, and Moss wants to write songs for what feels like new times. And when Len Levy, a Jewish upstart at Ogden's banking firm, and his best friend, Reg Pauling, a black man who went to Harvard with Moss, enter the Miltons' circle, the binding threads to family and to its sense of place, tighten. Moss insists the times are changing. And indeed everything does change.
So much so that in the present day, the third generation of Miltons doesn't have enough money to keep the island in Maine. Evie Milton's mother has just died, and now she is told she and her cousins must sell the island that has defined their family for nearly a century. But in excavating her mother and grandparents' history, Evie must contend with the fact that some stories are not ours to know and that the very foundation of the Milton family might be resting on air.
The Guest Book asks how we remember and what we choose to forget. It examines the secrets we inherit and pass on unknowingly, repeating the mistakes of our parents and grandparents. Sarah Blake's triumphant novel tells the story of a family and a country that buries its past in quiet, until the present calls forth a reckoning.
