•Online[LAWS] Book Discussion: The Correspondent by Virginia Evans
OnlineDescribed by Google:
The Correspondent by Virginia Evans is an epistolary novel about Sybil, a retired, divorced lawyer in her 70s who communicates with the world through letters to friends, family, and even famous authors, revealing her life, regrets, and search for forgiveness as she confronts a painful past. The book is praised for its charming and poignant portrayal of an endearing, cantankerous protagonist and her relationships, exploring themes of aging, connection, and reconciliation through her correspondence.
The author Virginia Evans wrote this fiction during the pandemic and in a closet of her house.
