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. Carlo's brother is there to meet them, and he and everyone else can't help but notice that Anna is as beautiful as a Greek statue. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eBut Anna is not like the other wives. She doesn't gossip or attend church. She reads books no one else has ever heard of, exploring ideas that some find threatening. She even wears pants, just like a man, and thinks a woman should have rights, just like a man. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThere aren't many options for a woman with Anna's sensibilities, so when she learns that the post office is hiring, she leaps at the opportunity. A female letter carrier? It is unthinkable!
