Arch-swindler Moist Van Lipwig finds himself facing execution for his confidence crimes until Lord Vetinari, the ruler of Ankh-Morpork, offers him an unexpected job as Postmaster instead. With no other options, Moist reluctantly accepts, along with a hulking golem watchdog to ensure he fulfills his duties. Tasked with reviving the failing Postal Service, he confronts the overwhelming challenge of decades of undelivered mail cluttering the dilapidated post office. With only a handful of elderly postmen and a peculiar, unstable youth to assist, the situation seems dire. To make matters worse, Moist begins to hear the mail talking to him, and he must also contend with the formidable Grand Trunk clacks communication monopoly and its ruthless head, Mr. Reacher Gilt. Despite the daunting obstacles, including a motto on the building that promises service against all odds, Moist is determined to fight against the odds. He aims to move the mail, secure his own survival, win the girl, and deliver the essential hope that every being—human, troll, dwarf, and golem—needs.
