About the Book: The Correspondent by Virginia Evans is a tender and beautifully crafted epistolary novel told entirely through letters. Seventy-three-year-old Sybil Van Antwerp, a retired lawyer, devoted gardener and lifelong letter writer, communicates with family, friends, authors, neighbours and even strangers as she reflects on love, loss and the passage of time. But one letter remains unwritten—and when buried memories resurface, Sybil must confront the past and consider whether forgiveness is possible. A moving story of friendship, family, grief, memory, second chances and the enduring power of the written word.
