The Correspondent

The Correspondent by Virginia Evans (2025). 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.

“The word-of-mouth bestseller of 2025 is a quietly dazzling epistolary novel. . . . Note by note, Sybil’s world takes shape, raising poignant, timely questions about mercy and how we’re all connected.”—NYT Book of the Week
