The Correspondent by Virginia Evans

My quick review of The Correspondent by Virginia Evans: Sweet story told through letters, our main character Sybil is complicated and flawed, and we learn her whole story from birth to death, happy and sad, throughout the course of her life. 💕

Hot tip: Do a little deep dive on the author, Virginia, and how long it took her to be published, truly inspiring!

Goodreads synopsis (SOURCE): 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.
