‘[A] moving family drama … If you don't fall in love with Mr Sidhu, as I did, then I can't help you!’BBC News, 12 Books to Read in 2026
* * * *
It's 2007, and Mr Sidhu is the sub-postmaster of the local post office in Richmond. He's grieving the passing of his wife and is preoccupied with honouring his final promise to her: to make sure his two grown-up children are settled and comfortable, which means helping Raju buy his own place and seeing to it that Meenu finally marries her long-term fiancé, Craig. But Mr Sidhu is thrown off course when he begins developing feelings for his co-worker Rose, and everything starts to change, including his relationship with his children.
And then Mr Sidhu's weekly accounts begin reporting a loss. He doesn't know what's happening or where that money has gone, but as the collective losses increases, Mr Sidhu has no way of paying it back. Will those in the community who Mr Sidhu has served so loyally rally around him before it’s too late? Or could this be the end of Mr Sidhu’s post office … ?

Amman Brar is a writer and theatre maker. He has an MA in Creative Writing from UEA. He was one of the inaugural winners of the BBC Writersroom 10 Award for his play Punjabi Boy with Tamasha Theatre Co where he was also Artist in Residence. Amman’s father was a sub-postmaster during the 1980s and 1990s, and as soon as he was able, Amman was ‘encouraged’ to work in the shop after school and at weekends. He saw how respected his father was and how the locals loved having a post office as a hub for the community. Mr Sidhu’s Post Office is Amman’s debut novel and pays tribute to his father and the community he served for decades, while also honouring the struggle of the victims of the Horizon scandal.
