Told entirely through letters, The Correspondent follows Sybil Van Antwerp as her correspondence with friends, family, and one particularly meaningful pen pal unfolds over the years, gradually revealing her story, her relationships, and the life she's lived. A quietly powerful, deeply personal read — and a brilliant choice for a book club built on conversation.

"Lovely read! Sybil is an interesting character, so it was a delight reading about her story, perspective, and relationships." — Lara

"A 5-star read for me too. I really enjoyed it. I wasn't sure how the story would be able to develop so deeply through letters, but it really did!" — Christie

"I love how Sybil and Rosalie talked about how their years of letters could be compiled to make a book one day, but agreed who would actually want to read that, besides them! Yet here we all are, the readers of this book, doing exactly that and loving the journey we are being taken on!" — Catherine

"I loved this! I don't often give 5 stars but I just loved this so much that a 5-star rating was the only option! It was such a unique way to tell the stories of all the characters. I felt like I'd found a box of letters, sat on the floor and learnt someone's story." — Lucy

"Such a good book club book! I wish it was longer. I wish I had more letters!" — Bonnie

Sounds like this one was a genuine favourite — a rare book where the whole group landed on the same page (pun intended). The letter format won everyone over, and more than one of us wished it simply didn't end.
