À propos de cet audio

 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • Discover the word-of-mouth hit hailed by Ann Patchett as “A cause for celebration”—an intimate novel about the transformative power of the written word and the beauty of slowing down to reconnect with the people we love.

“The Correspondent is this year’s breakout novel no one saw coming.”—The Wall Street Journal

“I cried more than once as I witnessed this brilliant woman come to understand herself more deeply.”—Florence Knapp, author of The Names

LONGLISTED FOR THE CENTER FOR FICTION FIRST NOVEL PRIZE AND THE ANDREW CARNEGIE MEDAL • A PBS TOP SUMMER BOOK • LIBRARYREADS PICK OF THE MONTH • A BEST BOOK OF THE YEAR: NPR, The Washington Post, Christian Science Monitor, She Reads

“Imagine, the letters one has sent out into the world, the letters received back in turn, are like the pieces of a magnificent puzzle. . . . Isn’t there something wonderful in that, to think that a story of one’s life is preserved in some way, that this very letter may one day mean something, even if it is a very small thing, to someone?”

Filled with knowledge that only comes from a life fully lived, The Correspondent is a gem of a novel about the power of finding solace in literature and connection with people we might never meet in person. It is about the hubris of youth and the wisdom of old age, and the mistakes and acts of kindness that occur during a lifetime.

Sybil Van Antwerp has throughout her life used letters to make sense of the world and her place in it. 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, and to one person to whom she writes often yet never sends the letter.

Sybil expects her world to go on as it always has—a mother, grandmother, wife, divorcee, distinguished lawyer, she has lived a very full life. But when letters from someone in her past force her to examine one of the most painful periods of her life, she realizes that the letter she has been writing over the years needs to be read and that she cannot move forward until she finds it in her heart to offer forgiveness.

Sybil Van Antwerp’s life of letters might be “a very small thing,” but she also might be one of the most memorable characters you will ever read. Fiction de genre Fiction femmes Le meilleur de 2025 Sincère

I felt the book jumped around too often. The chapters are like journal entries. Unlike other reviewers I did not like the format.
The performance was very good.

Too many chapters

Captivating story line. Interesting characters. Great narration using a variety of voices. Depth of understanding of aging and its challenges and joys.

One of my favourite listens this year.

What a beautiful story. I loved the format of letters. The use of different actors for each voice added to the enjoyment of the various characters and relationships.

Amazing!

I loved this book. If I could give six stars for the performance, I would. I have to admit the format did not thrill me at first. I didn't think I could get through several hours of letters, but am I ever glad I did! This is a quiet book of contemplations, the story unfolds slowly with beautiful, perfectly human characters. Read it. You won't be sorry.

Heartfelt and intriguing

Very interesting story written in a very unique way. At the beginning of the story it was confusing what the book is all about and who are the real characters of the story. I was not sure if I should keep listening this book, but I am so glad I did. For the future readers/listeners of this story, please be patient and let the correspondence reveal to you the complexity of a life and it’s impact onto lives of many other people.

Awesome!
