It's about an old woman who lives alone like a hermit. She is eccentric and rude....\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSybil Van Antwerp is a mother and grandmother, divorced, retired from a distinguished career in law, an avid gardener, and a writer of letters. Most mornings, around half past ten, Sybil sits down to write letters--to her brother, to her best friend, to the president of the university who will not allow her to audit a class she desperately wants to take, to Joan Didion and Larry McMurtry to tell them what she thinks of their latest books.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBecause at seventy-three, Sybil has used her letters to make sense of the world and her place in it. But as Sybil expects her life to go on as it always has, letters from someone in her past force her to examine one of the most painful periods of her life.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFilled with knowledge that only comes from a life fully lived, The Correspondent is a gem of a novel that is a testament to the power of the written word.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eEAN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9798217398713\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003ePackage Dimensions:\u003c\/b\u003e height: 235 mm, length: 159 mm, width: 19 mm, weight: 516 g\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguages:\u003c\/b\u003e en\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Virginia Evans","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53052000600371,"sku":"9798217398713","price":34.3,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0949\/3636\/7411\/files\/8644673488674.jpg?v=1771114834","url":"https:\/\/bookabaloo.com\/products\/the-correspondent-deluxe-edition-a-novel","provider":"Bookabaloo","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
