We will be discussing The Correspondent, by Virginia Evans. It is an epistolary novel told entirely through the letters and emails of Sybil Van Antwerp, a 73-year-old retired lawyer.  The story spans roughly a decade as Sybil writes to a colorful cast of characters: her brother, best friend, authors whose books she reads (like Joan Didion and Ann Patchett), and a bullied teen.  These exchanges—and the responses she receives—slowly piece together her life story with its triumphs and profound regrets.
