About Virginia Evans

Told through letters to family and friends, The Correspondent brings us Sybil Van Antwerp — stubborn, sharp, fiercely opinionated, and unwavering in her belief in the written word. But as time begins to press in, Sybil is forced to confront the unfinished business of her life: a fractured relationship with her children, one last chance at love, an old legal case that refuses to rest, and a devastating loss she has carried for thirty years.

Praised as “subtly told and finely made… a cause for celebration” (Ann Patchett) and “an absolute triumph” (Clare Chambers), this is an emotional, uplifting novel about small tragedies, great joys and the possibility of second chances — perfect for readers of Elizabeth Strout and 84 Charing Cross Road.

Virginia Evans studied creative writing at Trinity College Dublin and now lives in North Carolina with her family.

Come along for a morning of conversation, insight and audience Q&A celebrating this tender and life-affirming story.
