Ann Patchett describes this hidden treasure as “a cause for celebration” – so you know it’s worth experiencing! Buy audiobook and immerse yourself in this heartfelt story.
Sybil Van Antwerp has written countless letters throughout her life. Now, as a septuagenarian and grandmother, a surprising revelation from a DNA test compels her to revisit a letter she never sent. Read it, read it, read it! Then buy it for your family, your friends, your loved ones (Fran Littlewood, author of Amazing Grace Adams).
Brimming with insights gained from a life fully lived, The Correspondent is a literary gem that explores the profound comfort found in books and the unexpected connections with people we may never meet. It delves into the hubris of youth, the wisdom of age, and the small acts of kindness and mistakes that shape a lifetime.
Throughout her life, Sybil Van Antwerp has used letters as a way to understand the world and her place within it. Most mornings, around half past ten, she sits down to write – letters to her brother, her best friend, the university president who denied her the chance to audit a course she desperately wanted, to authors like Joan Didion and Larry McMurtry sharing her thoughts on their latest works, and to a person she writes to often but never sends a letter.
Sybil expects her life to continue as it always has – she’s a mother, grandmother, wife, divorcee, and distinguished lawyer, living a rich and full life. But when letters from her past surface, forcing her to confront one of her most painful moments, she realizes that the letter she’s been writing over the years must be read. She understands she cannot move forward until she finds it in her heart to forgive.
Sybil Van Antwerp’s story, though seemingly “a very small thing,” might also be one of the most unforgettable characters you will ever encounter.
