Sybil Van Antwerp has throughout her life used letters to m ake sense of the world and her place in it. Most mornings\, around half pa st ten\, Sybil sits down to write letters&mdash\;to her brother\, to her b est friend\, to the president of the university who will not allow her to audit a class she desperately wants to take\, to Joan Didion and Larry McM urtry to tell them what she thinks of their latest books\, and to one pers on to whom she writes often yet never sends the letter.
\n\;
\nSybil expects her world to go on as it always has&mdash\;a mother\, grandmother\, wife\, divorcee\, distinguished lawyer\, she has lived a ver y full life. But when letters from someone in her past force her to examin e one of the most painful periods of her life\, she realizes that the lett er she has been writing over the years needs to be read and that she canno t move forward until she finds it in her heart to offer forgiveness.
\n\;
\nFilled with knowledge that only comes from a life fully lived\, The Correspondent is a gem of a novel about the power of finding solace in literature and connection with people we might never meet in per son. It is about the hubris of youth and the wisdom of old age\, and the m istakes and acts of kindness that occur during a lifetime.
