| 520 | _a"Poppea of the Post-Office" by Mabel Osgood Wright is a novel written in the early 20th century. The book unfolds in a small town during a turbulent historical backdrop, specifically the American Civil War. It centers around Oliver Gilbert, the postmaster, who discovers a baby girl abandoned at his post office, prompting a series of events that delve into themes of family, loss, and community. The opening of the novel introduces Oliver Gilbert anxiously awaiting the delayed evening mail amid a snowstorm, highlighting the post office's role as a social hub in the town. As he and the local men discuss the war and its impacts, Gilbert's mundane life is interrupted when a baby is left on his doorstep, wrapped in a buffalo robe. The child, soon dubbed "the lady baby," stirs deep emotions in Gilbert, who reminisces about his own lost daughter. The narrative hints at the mystery behind the child's abandonment, setting the stage for explorations of connection, responsibility, and the longing for companionship amidst the chaos of war.
