Hope everyone is doing well! Ready for another sweet read?
The Correspondent is a debut novel by Virginia Evans, told through letters and emails, about a retired lawyer named Sybil Van Antwerp who uses correspondence to process her life, grief, and past trauma, ultimately leading to a journey of self-discovery and forgiveness. The epistolary novel explores themes of connection, literature, aging, and confronting painful memories through Sybil's witty and poignant exchanges with friends, family, and even famous authors.
This thread is for initial thoughts, expectations, assumptions, etc - I'll be back the second week of June with a list of specific discussion questions for us all to dig into.
Just a reminder that book club is for everyone! Feel free to join us if and when you can - no pressure to keep up with every month... you can also pop in later in the year and catch up on the convo if you're a slow reader or had a long wait to get your copy. It's all very low-key.
If your post includes *spoilers* make sure to use the super cool new spoilers feature so we don't ruin anyone's good time.
So happy you're joining us this month!
