Peculiar Life of a Lonely Postman

*Selected for Simon Mayo’s BBC Radio 2 Book Club*

Secretly steaming open envelopes and reading the letters inside, Bilodo has found an escape from his lonely and routine life as a postman. When one day he comes across a mysterious letter containing a single haiku, he finds himself avidly caught up in the relationship between a long-distance couple who write to each other using only beautiful poetry. He feasts on their words, vicariously living a life for which he longs. But it will only be a matter of time before his world comes crashing down around him.

* Selectat pentru BBC Radio 2 Book Club al lui Simon Mayo * Plicuri deschise aburind in secret si citind scrisorile din interior, Bilodo a gasit o evadare din viata sa solitara si de rutina de postas. Cand intr-o zi intalneste o scrisoare misterioasa care contine un singur haiku, se trezeste prins cu pasiune in relatia dintre un cuplu de distanta care isi scrie reciproc folosind doar poezii frumoase.
