The Correspondent: A Novel
“Subtly told and finely made, The Correspondent is a portrait of a small life expanding. Virginia Evans shows how one woman changes at a point when change had seemed impossible. That change, like this novel, turns out to be a cause for celebration.”—Ann Patchett

Letter writing and story telling at its best! The true raw yet spunky storytelling flows from page to page. I couldn’t wait for each page to turn, yet was sad when I completed the book. This is a great book to read again and again (once a year, make a date with yourself to enjoy it again like a favorite movie).
Yes. Deceptively simple prose leads the reader on a journey through grief, connectedness, openness, and forgiveness. A very well done epistolary novel, and the audiobook is wonderful, too.
This book reminded me about my childhood love of giving and receiving letters the way that putting pen to paper helped us to reflect, share, question and express our feeling to one another. I reserve my 10s for those rare books that change me and the way I live my life. Tonight, I will write someone I love a letter, and I plan to make this a new practice. So grateful to Virginia Evans for reminding me about the beauty of written correspondence.
