The Postmistress

Just finished this...has anyone else read it? I enjoyed it but didn't love it, and thought comparisons to Atonement were a bit much. I loved the descriptions of the Blitz and the contrast between Europe and the American town on cape cod, thought the character of Iris was underdeveloped even though she was the epoynymous one - Frankie was much more interesting and I felt it was more her story...

Would love to share thoughts on this if anyone has read it,..

Hmm - got it to read but haven't started it. TBH it was part of WH smiths deal on Richard & judy picks, and I picked up room and need another - but it hasn't really inspired me to start reading it...

I got this along with Room, same reason as CupcakesHay.
I am halfway through Room - (good but not brilliant) and am looking forward to the Postmistress because of all the positive reviews.
I often find books do not live up to the hype !
