For years, Mr Sidhu’s post office has been a place of small rituals and quiet mercies: news exchanged, kindnesses remembered, a haven for all. Mr Sidhu is confidant, caretaker and witness to a community revealing itself in its loyalties and secrets.
But Mr Sidhu is caught between the life he has inherited and the one he has scarcely allowed himself to imagine. When his ordered world begins to shift, he is drawn towards a new future and an unexpected love, forcing him to navigate family tensions, shifting identities and the question of who stands beside us when everything changes. And soon, the life Mr Sidhu tended so carefully may no longer be enough …
Tender, wise and beautifully observed, Mr Sidhu’s Post Office is an unforgettable novel about love, duty and the communities that shape us – and save us.

Praise for Amman Brar:
‘Mr Sidhu is a wonderful character – he’s someone you will remember and think about long after you’ve finished the book’ Sarah Morgan, number one Sunday Times bestselling author
‘What a special debut … I couldn't put it down’ Louise Hare, author of This Lovely City
‘Amman Brar’s storytelling is warm, funny, and culturally astute … As the story unfolds, Mr Sidhu’s dignified reserve is peeled back to reveal a big heart’ Natalie Gregory, author of Mother Ghost Mango Seed
‘A powerful, heart-wrenching tribute to the immigrant journey … A standout debut that balances family, faith, and late-in life love’ Candid Book Club
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.
