Product Description

The Correspondent — A Novel

NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • Discover the word-of-mouth hit hailed by Ann Patchett as “A cause for celebration”—an intimate novel about the transformative power of the written word and the beauty of slowing down to reconnect with the people we love.

“The Correspondent is this year’s breakout novel no one saw coming.”The Wall Street Journal

“I cried more than once as I witnessed this brilliant woman come to understand herself more deeply.”Florence Knapp, author of The Names

Longlisted for the Center for Fiction First Novel Prize and the Andrew Carnegie Medal • A PBS Top Summer BookLibraryReads Pick of the Month

“Imagine, the letters one has sent out into the world, the letters received back in turn, are like the pieces of a magnificent puzzle... Isn’t there something wonderful in that, to think that a story of one’s life is preserved in some way?”

The Correspondent is a gem of a novel about finding solace in literature and connection with people we might never meet in person. It explores the hubris of youth, the wisdom of age, and the acts of kindness and mistakes that define a life.

Sybil Van Antwerp has always used letters to understand her world. Each morning, she writes—to her brother, her best friend, a university president, and even literary icons like Joan Didion and Larry McMurtry. Yet one letter, written often but never sent, holds the key to her deepest pain.

When letters from her past resurface, Sybil must confront old wounds and offer forgiveness to move forward. Her “very small thing” — a life written in letters — becomes a powerful story of self-discovery and grace.
