The Correspondent: A Novel by Virginia Evans. Crown, 2025. Adult contemporary fiction.
All of her life Sybil Van Antwerp has written letters. She writes to her family members and friends, to authors of books she has read, and to various others. Sybil makes sense of the world through writing. She has spent her life as a whip smart lawyer and is retired. Now that she is in her eighties and her vision is failing, her world is getting smaller. With quiet drama and quite a bit of humor, Evans has written a beautiful book about aging, family, friends, and forgiveness. This is a sure hit for book groups. It is a balm for the soul of anyone without being preachy.
