Stephanie Hellmann asked this question about The Postmistress:
I'm just beginning, but already am disappointed. Franklin, Massachusetts is NOT on Cape Cod. I can't get this mistake/misplacement out of my head. I'm hoping to be carried away to other things so this doesn't bother me so much. Did anyone else notice obvious blunders such as this?

But I guessed that she did it on purpose, to create her own version of what I think is Provincetown so that there were no preconceived thoughts? Anyway, I felt the book was a bit slow to start but then it enveloped me into the story and I could not out it down. I forgot about the town names being different and was swept into the story. I am only a short while from finishing it and I really love it.(less)
