		<description><![CDATA[One of the debuts we&#8217;re watching this season is The Postmistress by Sarah Blake. Many have compared it to Kathryn Stockett&#8217;s The Help. In fact, it&#8217;s received strong praise from Stockett (she even interviews Blake on Amazon&#8217;s site), and both books share the same editor, Amy Einhorn, who has her own imprint at Putnam.
