Salento, Italy, June 1934. A coach stops in the main square of Lizzanello, a tight-knit village where everyone knows each other. A couple gets off: The man, Carlo, a child of the South, is happy to be back home after a long time away; the woman, Anna his wife, is a stranger from the North. Carlos brother is there to meet them, and he and everyone else cant help but notice that Anna is as beautiful as a Greek statue. But Anna is not like the other wives. She doesnt gossip or attend church. She reads books no one else has ever heard of. She even wears pants, just like a man, and thinks a woman should have rights just like a man. There arent many options for a woman with Annas sensibilities, so when she learns that the post office is hiring, she leaps at the opportunity.

A female letter carrier? It is unthinkable. But Anna soon becomes the invisible thread connecting the town as she delivers letters between clandestine lovers, families waiting to hear news of loved ones away at war, even helping those who cant read. But for some in Lizzanello, letters come too little and too late. The seamstress, who was Carlos first love, cant help but look at Anna as having taken her rightful place. Carlos niece has put herself in a loveless marriage after an impetuous act of jealousy. And Carlo and his brother find themselves trying to cover up a recently unearthed surprise that could shatter all of their lives.
