The Correspondent by Virginia Evans

5.0

emotional funny hopeful inspiring reflective sad fast-paced

I already loved epistolary books and this made me love them even more deeply.  There’s something about the format I find propulsive, eager to read a few more letters wherever I can. The characters all felt so real to me. I’m amazed at how the author wove together such intricate relationships and events over the course of a decade’s worth of letters/emails. Touched on many difficult topics and quandaries without it feeling unfocused or overwhelming. Witty and wise. Moved me to laughter and tears.
