Bilodo is a postman who has developed his own methods of sorting mail. He is curious about people who write real letters to each other instead of sending emails or phone calls. His curiosity has him steaming open random letters to read before re-sealing and delivering it to the recipient. He happens to fall upon a correspondence between Ségolene and Grandpre where they only send each other a single Haiku. He becomes obsessed and finds himself falling in love with Segolene. I wasn't too sure about this book when I first started, a few chapters in and I was ready to put it down and start another but at a certain point it all starts to fall into place and lures you in. There is a sequel which I'll definitely be reading next!
