Casting Call!

[Rachel-K]

We need a lighthearted thread, don't you think? And this is such a great novel to cast!

You must fill the perfect cast for the film version of The Postmistress. Iris? Emma? Will? Frankie? Murrow? Harry? What actors could re-create the way you saw each of the characters while you read the novel?
