The Correspondent by Virginia Evans | Paperback

From Our Literature Box

📖 About this Book

At seventy-three, Sybil Van Antwerp has spent much of her life making sense of the world through letters and emails. She writes to family, friends, authors she admires, and even people she may never meet, while keeping one deeply personal letter unsent.

Told entirely through correspondence, the novel gradually reveals Sybil’s complicated relationships, old grief, regrets, and the parts of her past she has tried to keep at a distance. When someone from that past reappears, she is forced to confront what she has avoided for years and consider whether forgiveness, including forgiveness of herself, is still possible.

❤️ Why Sumaia Recommends It
