Books & Brunch: "The Correspondent" by Virgina Evans

About this event

**Join us for our eleventh book club meeting!** Writing is a powerful tool that can connect people across time and place. *The Correspondent* is a heartwarming story about grief, forgiveness, and the impact of the words we share. **(A special shoutout to one of our members for choosing this novel!)** **\*PLEASE READ ENTIRE POST\*** We will have brunch and chat about the novel! ***Description:*** Sybil Van Antwerp has used letters throughout her life to make sense of the world and her place in it. Most mornings, she writes to family and friends, to favorite authors, and to one person whose letters remain unsent. Sybil expects her life to go on as it always has, but when letters from someone in her past force her to revisit one of the most painful periods of her life, she realizes she can no longer leave the past unanswered. To move forward, she must confront what happened—and find it in her heart to offer forgiveness. **Check for content warnings before reading by visiting** [Trigger Warning Database – For readers everywhere](https://triggerwarningdatabase.com/) ***Reviews:*** \- "Thank you\, Virgina Evans\, for a life beautifully told in letters\, for creating a character whose mind struggles with her heart in a most intriguing\, sympathetic\, witty\, and binge\-worth way\."—Author Elinor Lipman -"Charming, engrossing, and deeply moving, Evans's novel explores the way everyday choices and relationships shape a life and shows it's never too late to form new connections, make amends, or even fall in love."—*Booklist* You can find the book on Amazon, at Barnes & Noble, or at your local library!
