Product Description
The Correspondent by Virginia Evans is a warm, witty and deeply moving novel told entirely through letters.
At the heart of the story is Sybil Van Antwerp, a seventy-three-year-old retired lawyer who writes letters to family, friends, authors, neighbors and others around her. Through her correspondence, readers gradually discover the life she has lived, the relationships she has built, and the memories she has carried for decades.
But one letter is different. It concerns the most painful period of Sybil’s past—a chapter she has never been able to fully confront. As she begins to reckon with old regrets, grief and difficult relationships, Sybil discovers that it may never be too late to change, forgive, reconnect, or even fall in love again.
