Amy recommends The Correspondent by Virginia Evans. It is also available on Libby in both e-book and e-audiobook formats. You can also gather friends to discuss it with a Book Club-in-a-Bag.
Summary
At 73, retired lawyer and devoted letter writer Sybil Van Antwerp navigates her daily life and reflects on her past. When unexpected letters open old wounds, she must confront a painful chapter that reshapes her understanding of herself and her world.
She recommends it because...
“I enjoyed the spicy main character, Sybil Van Antwerp, whose main source of communication is letter writing,” said Amy. “I enjoyed glimpsing into Sybil’s world, and her relationship with her family and friends, and joys and regrets in her life, told by her letter-based correspondence.”
Who might enjoy it?
Amy recommends this book for fans of epistolary fiction, such as 84, Charing Cross Road by Helene Hanff.
