As we see Sam’s character grow and change, we also get sneak peeks into the secret lives of everyone he encounters. It turns out that postmen are a rather attentive bunch, which makes the narrative ripe for humor and even just a hint of scandal. Mirren’s descriptions are vibrant and we can feel the heat coming off the pavement of the hot, gorgeous Georgia day as strongly as if we were standing on the sidewalk ourselves. One Day in Ocilla is a delightfully satisfying read that introduces readers to the small town and its residents and provides a great escape for anyone looking for a little warm weather and an even warmer heart.
