Adult Book Club: “The Correspondent” by Virginia Evans

From the Publisher: “Imagine, the letters one has sent out into the world, the letters received back in turn, are like the pieces of a magnificent puzzle. . . . Isn’t there something wonderful in that, to think that a story of one’s life is preserved in some way, that this very letter may one day mean something, even if it is a very small thing, to someone?”
Sybil Van Antwerp has throughout her life used letters to make sense of the world and her place in it…
Filled with knowledge that only comes from a life fully lived, "The Correspondent"is a gem of a novel about the power of finding solace in literature and connection with people we might never meet in person.
