ZESTY GOPHER S’EST FAIT ÉCRASER PAR UN FRIGO THE (POST) MISTRESS [LEARN A SMALL TOWN’S SECRETS IN SONG]
Marie-Louise Painchaud is the Post Mistress of Lovely, a small Francophone town in Northern Ontario near Complexity. The lives of the townspeople have no secrets for her, thanks to her supernatural ability to read through envelopes, which is in itself the town’s most heartwarming secret. She is a caring and generous soul who relates warmly to the hopes and troubles of others, as she sings them magnificently in French, English and Cree.
