In a small village called Girifalco, a shy and lonely postman meticulously observes the world’s governing laws through coincidences. Dedicated to documenting these random epiphanies, he compensates for his lack of love by imitating others’ handwriting. The postman secretly opens, reads, copies, and catalogs letters before delivering them, mapping the village’s private events. One day, an unusual, sealed letter with no sender appears, holding a mysterious love message. In 1969, as Americans take their first steps on the moon, the postman, modern Mercury’s messenger, embarks on a mission to uncover a tragic passion and save Girifalco from the mayor’s corrupt plan to turn Covello Mountain into a landfill. The novel blends universal and unique elements, creating an inspired plot and a carousel of characters.
