书籍简介

在西比尔·范·安特卫普写给家人和朋友的信中，我们得以了解她的一生：固执、脾气暴躁、固执己见，始终坚信文字的力量。

但随着西比尔的生命走到尽头，她意识到自己需要为过往的人生写下几段后记。修复与子女之间紧张的关系；再一次尝试爱情；弥补一桩旧案的罪责——这桩旧案如今再次困扰着她；除此之外，她还要面对过去三十年来一直深藏于心的、令人痛彻心扉的失去。

“《通讯员》叙事细腻，制作精良，描绘了一个平凡人生不断扩展的历程。”——安·帕切特

“才华横溢的弗吉尼亚·埃文斯创作了一部充满人情味和勇气的杰作。”——阿德里亚娜·特里加尼，《未竟之善》畅销书作者

“这部精彩绝伦的作品让我惊艳不已！感谢弗吉尼亚·埃文斯，用书信的形式讲述了一个动人的故事，塑造了一个内心挣扎、充满同情、机智幽默、引人入胜的角色。”——埃莉诺·利普曼，《德米诺女士》作者

In her letters to family and friends we come to know the life of Sybil Van Antwerp: stubborn, cantankerous, opinionated, always steadfast in her belief in the power of the written word.

But as the clock begins to tick for Sybil, the need for a few post-scripts to the life she’s led becomes apparent. Fixing her difficult relationship with her children. Taking a final chance at romance. Atoning for an old legal case which has come back to haunt her. And finally, reckoning with a devastating loss that she has spent the last thirty years holding close to her chest.

'Subtly told and finely made, The Correspondent is a portrait of a small life expanding' ANN PATCHETT

'The superbly talented Virginia Evans has written a novel of connection and daring' - ADRIANA TRIGANI, bestselling author of The Good Left Undone

'I was wowed by this deliciously brilliant book! Thank you, Virginia 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-worthy way' - Elinor Lipman, author of MS DEMEANOR
