Short. Funny. Made me think ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars A Quirky and Surprisingly Sexy Little Book *by C***Y on Reviewed in the United States on November 19, 2021* This is a quirky and surprisingly sexy little book that you may be able to read in one sitting or two at the most.Written by Denis Thériault, this is the story of Bilodo, a lonely postman working a city route delivering mail in Montreal, Québec. Bilodo long ago figured out a way to spice up his boring evenings: He clandestinely reads other people's letters. When anyone on his route receives a letter, he keeps it, brings it to his apartment and steams it open. He reads it that night and delivers it the next day. No one is the wiser. And then he gets caught up reading a lovely exchange between Gaston Grandpré, a man living on Bilodo's postal route, and Ségolène, a woman living in Guadeloupe. What is unusual in their correspondence is they write each other only in haiku poems. But a very clever and unexpected twist in the plot changes everything in a surprising and slightly nervy way.I have to say, old English major that I am, that I delighted in the obvious literary ploy of envelope structure in which the beginning and end of a poem (it's found often in the biblical psalms) are identical or quite similar. It's brilliant here!This is a delightfully enchanting book with an ingenious plot and a captivating main character. It could just as easily have been titled "The Lonely Life of a Peculiar Postman."Bonus: The book is filled with haiku and fascinating tidbits on this Japanese form of poetry. ### ⭐⭐⭐ 3.0 out of 5 stars probably best in the original French *by M***R on Reviewed in the United States on June 25, 2016* A rather strange book. The ending took me by surprise. I would like to be able to say that I really liked the book, but I can't. I did find the story interesting, and I loved how short it is, what a quick read. What I didn't like much was the writing, which probably means the translation, but I also thought it lacked finesse. It's not handled as gracefully as I would've liked. It could've been better. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.sg/products/52409259-the-peculiar-life-of-a-lonely-postman](https://www.desertcart.sg/products/52409259-the-peculiar-life-of-a-lonely-postman) --- *Product available on Desertcart Singapore* *Store origin: SG* *Last updated: 2026-11-08*
