Finding work as a waitress in an unpretentious down-town restaurant, she meets Bilodo, a shy postman who spends his days perfecting his calligraphy and writing haiku. The two hit it off.

Praise for The Peculiar Life of a Lonely Postman
'Enchanting, philosophically astute and deeply poignant.’
‘Quirky and charming with a well-executed denouement, this novella brings to mind nothing less than a giddily-lovesick Kafka.’
