For the month of October, we will be discussing The Correspondent by Virginia Evans.
Sybil Van Antwerp, a sharp‑witted retired lawyer in her seventies, pours her life into letters that reveal long‑buried grief, complicated family ties, and an unexpected search for identity. As her eyesight fades and an anonymous correspondent stirs old questions, she’s pushed to confront the truths she’s avoided for decades. The Correspondent is a moving, intimate portrait of connection, memory, and the courage it takes to finally look inward.
