The Book Club book
The Correspondent is a lovely read. Told in letters, it is an example of an epistolary novel. Through her letters we get to understand the emotional complexity of our main character, the 73 year old Sybil Van Antwerp. Sybil has been a letter writer all her life - to friends, to family and to authors with comments on their books. Yet somehow Sybil has used her insightful and amusing correspondence to also keep those who love her at a distance. And to one person she has written a letter many times, but never found the courage to send it.
Geoff says:
"This book has had a huge, positive response around the world. In Sybil Van Antwerp Virginia Evans has given the world of literature another memorable voice."
