About The Correspondent
'Shows us what a glorious thing growing older can be' - Florence Knapp, author of The Names
'Tremendous' - Fredrik Backman, author of My Friends
The hardest letter to write is the one you’d never dare to send.
Sybil Van Antwerp is seventy-three, slowly losing her sight and always writing letters . . .
To her children. Her favourite authors. Her ex-sister-in-law. The journalist poking into her past. Her doctor. Suitors. Kindly neighbours. The infuriating gardening club.
All receive Sybil’s witty, wise correspondence, rich with everyday concerns. But there is one letter that she has never sent. It concerns the darkest period of her life.
To post it, Sybil must find forgiveness within herself.
