Meet Katinka O'Toole, high school valedictorian, Radcliffe graduate, published author, ex-wife of a noted Joycean Scholar, writing instructor at Harvard, and in love with her mailman.
There's something about a man in uniform. Especially when it's Louie Capetti, the working class mail carrier who delivers Katinka's precious mail right to her door. From the moment she lays eyes on him, Katinka is taken in by his charming smile, his Mediterranean skin, the way he fills out those postal blues. Now, instead of retrieving her mail in her bathrobe, she comes out to greet him decked out in her "discount Dior." And Louie seems to notice.
But life is never that easy. In her search for true love and happiness, Katinka has to put up with the exploits of her pretentious ex-husband, the never-ending advice from her class-conscious mother, and the affections of a corporate lawyer she meets on a blind date. And there's always those nagging questions about Louie Capetti's past....
Mail is the sharp, poignant and uproariously funny story of a woman who is willing to brave wind, rain and snow to make sure that her postman always rings twice.
