Sybil Van Antwerp has always made sense of her life through letters. Each morning at half past ten, she writes — to her brother, to her best friend, to university administrators, to authors she admires, and to one person in particular… whose letter she has never quite sent.
A lawyer, mother, grandmother, and lifelong reader, Sybil believes her life is settled — until correspondence from her past forces her to revisit a wound she’s carefully lived around for decades. What unfolds is a deeply intimate novel about forgiveness, aging, memory, and the quiet courage it takes to face yourself honestly.
Tender, reflective, and surprisingly powerful, The Correspondent is a love letter to literature itself — and to the way words, once sent into the world, can shape us forever.
