Reviews
"Subtly told and finely made, The Correspondent is a portrait of a small life expanding. Virginia Evans shows how one woman changes at a point when change had seemed impossible. That change, like this novel, turns out to be a cause for celebration." --Ann Patchett "The charming debut from Evans takes the form of letters and emails exchanged by a divorced and retired woman with her friends, family, foes, and literary idols. . . . As the years go on, Sybil's relationships brim with tension waiting to be released, and the detailed connections between each character are brilliantly mapped through the correspondence. It adds up to an appealing family drama." -- Publishers Weekly "The circus of beautifully drawn characters, who receive and respond to Sybil's letters, is vibrant and rich. Sybil has survived trauma, grief, and lost love. She keeps her secrets close and edits her pain. The letters are so deliciously crafted, Sybil's life itself becomes a work of art." --Adriana Trigiani, bestselling author of The Good Left Undone "Letter by letter, The Correspondent reveals the different faces Sybil wears to navigate relationships with colleagues, friends, an almost-estranged daughter. Open-hearted with some, a hedgehog curled tight in a ball with others, I cried more than once as I witnessed this brilliant woman come to understand herself more deeply and risk lowering her defenses. Both serious and uplifting, The Correspondent shows us what a glorious thing growing older can be." --Florence Knapp, author of The Names "I finished this wonderful, wonderful book in tears, and had to take a moment--several moments--to pull myself together. . . . Equal parts sorrow and quiet joy, the stuff of life, it will make you laugh, it will make you cry, it will make you reflect, as all the best novels do. Read it, read it, read it! Then buy it for your family, your friends, your people." --Fran Littlewood, New York Times bestselling author of Amazing Grace Adams "I can't praise it enough. Sybil is such a wonderful character, and the supporting cast so vivid and real. For a book about grief and regret it was also properly funny. It's an absolute triumph." --Clare Chambers, bestselling author of Small Pleasures and Shy Creatures "Thank you, Virginia Evans, for a life beautifully told in letters, for creating a character whose mind struggles with her heart in a most intriguing, sympathetic, witty, and binge-worthy way. I loved bearing witness to her struggles and her scolds, to the righting of her emotional wrongs. Author friends--please forgive me for proclaiming The Correspondent my new favorite book." --Elinor Lipman, author of Ms. Demeanor " The Correspondent is the rarest of debuts with not a misplaced word or beat missed. Moving, funny and exquisite, it is a masterpiece in human frailty." --Anne Griffin, #1 Irish bestselling author of When All Is Said "What a lovely novel, I fell in love with the eloquent, stubborn Sybil, such a wonderful character." --Margot Livesey, New York Times bestselling author of The Flight of Gemma Hardy and The Road from Belhaven, "Subtly told and finely made, The Correspondent is a portrait of a small life expanding. Virginia Evans shows how one woman changes at a point when change had seemed impossible. That change, like this novel, turns out to be a cause for celebration." --Ann Patchett "The superbly talented Virginia Evans has written a novel of connection and daring, The Correspondent herself, Sybil Van Antwerp, is a single lady of a certain age, who finds the meaning of her life and those she loves (and doesn't) through letter writing. The circus of beautifully drawn characters, who receive and respond to Sybil's letters, is vibrant and rich. Sybil has survived trauma, grief, and lost love.

Synopsis
"Subtly told and finely made, The Correspondent is a portrait of a small life expanding. Virginia Evans shows how one woman changes at a point when change had seemed impossible. That change, like this novel, turns out to be a cause for celebration."--Ann Patchett NATIONAL BESTSELLER - LIBRARYREADS APRIL PICK - NAMED A GOOD HOUSEKEEPING (UK) MOST ANTICIPATED DEBUT "Imagine, the letters one has sent out into the world, the letters received back in turn, are like the pieces of a magnificent puzzle, or, a better metaphor, if dated, the links of a long chain, and even if those links are never put back together, which they will certainly never be, even if they remain for the rest of time dispersed across the earth like the fragile blown seeds of a dying dandelion, isn't there something wonderful in that, to think that a story of one's life is preserved in some way, that this very letter may one day mean something, even if it is a very small thing, to someone?" Sybil Van Antwerp has throughout her life used letters to make sense of the world and her place in it. Most mornings, around half past ten, Sybil sits down to write letters--to her brother, to her best friend, to the president of the university who will not allow her to audit a class she desperately wants to take, to Joan Didion and Larry McMurtry to tell them what she thinks of their latest books, and to one person to whom she writes often yet never sends the letter. Sybil expects her world to go on as it always has--a mother, grandmother, wife, divorcee, distinguished lawyer, she has lived a very full life. But when letters from someone in her past force her to examine one of the most painful periods of her life, she realizes that the letter she has been writing over the years needs to be read and that she cannot move forward until she finds it in her heart to offer forgiveness. Filled with knowledge that only comes from a life fully lived, The Correspondent is a gem of a novel about the power of finding solace in literature and connection with people we might never meet in person. It is about the hubris of youth and the wisdom of old age, and the mistakes and acts of kindness that occur during a lifetime. Sybil Van Antwerp's life of letters might be "a very small thing," but she also might be one of the most memorable characters you will ever read., "Subtly told and finely made, The Correspondent is a portrait of a small life expanding.
