The Correspondent

<**Pre-order this heartwarming, witty story about the life of an extraordinary woman, told through her letters, for fans of A Man Called Ove and 84 Charing Cross Road**

''Subtly told and finely made, The Correspondent is a portrait of a small life expanding'' ANN PATCHETT

In her letters to family and friends we come to know the life of Sybil Van Antwerp: stubborn, cantankerous, opinionated, always steadfast in her belief in the power of the written word.

But as the clock begins to tick for Sybil, the need for a few post-scripts to the life she''s led becomes apparent. Fixing her difficult relationship with her children. Taking a final chance at romance. Atoning for an old legal case which has come back to haunt her. And finally, reckoning with a devastating loss that she has spent the last thirty years holding close to her chest.
