This is was also quite bleak in some ways, but in a much lighter and more poetic way. Nineteen years ago a train crashed, and three bags of post have only just been discovered. The running thread through the book is wondering how these newly discovered letters might affect the community, but there are already enough intrigues in this small village in Pakistan, and political unrest in the rest of the country, to cause disruption to lives. A very picturesque book.
(There is also an ongoing "other" story between the main action, that I think I'd need to revisit to fully understand. Was it one of the lost letters? Or the history of one of the characters?)
A mysterious book, then, like the ending.
