The Correspondent
“The Correspondent by Virginia Evans is a delight to read from start to finish. It is a heartfelt and witty story and offers an intimate portrait of a retired lawyer told entirely through her correspondence with family, friends (of all ages) and literary idols revealing her inner thoughts and struggles as she faces the challenges of aging and declining eyesight. I can’t recommend this novel enough!” - Rikke
In her letters to family and friends we come to know the life of Sybil Van Antwerp: stubborn, cantankerous, opinionated, always steadfast in her belief in the power of the written word.
But as the clock begins to tick for Sybil, the need for a few post-scripts to the life she’s led becomes apparent. Fixing her difficult relationship with her children. Taking a final chance at romance. Atoning for an old legal case which has come back to haunt her. And finally, reckoning with a devastating loss that she has spent the last thirty years holding close to her chest.
