The Correspondent
by Virginia Evans
emotional
reflective
medium-paced
Absolutely loved this sweet novel! I’m a sucker for books made up of letters/emails, and thought the full cast performance of the audiobook made the experience all the better. I picked this book up on a whim and didn’t expect to become so engrossed, but once I started I was itching to keep reading! I loved these characters and how they slowly revealed themselves through tiny glimpses in prose. Themes of motherhood, regret, belonging, and finding community even in the “winter season” of one’s life were well done. This book makes me feel like I could just start a friendship anywhere, with one letter or one coffee date. This story was quite moving and I’m so glad I listened to it!
