Vinnare av Women's Prize for Fiction 2026!
Varje morgon sätter sig Sybil Van Antwerp för att skriva brev – till sin bror, till sin bästa vän, till universitetsledningen som vägrar låta henne närvara vid den kurs hon så innerligt vill följa, till sina favoritförfattare för att säga vad hon tycker om deras senaste böcker, och till en person som hon skriver till ofta, men aldrig skickar brevet till.
Vid sjuttiotre års ålder har Sybil gjort brevskrivandet till sin livlina – kvickt, klokt och djupt personligt använder hon orden för att förstå världen. Men i det verkliga livet har hon i över trettio år hållit dem som står henne närmast på avstånd. Tills en dag ett brev från någon ur hennes förflutna tvingar henne att konfrontera en av de mest smärtsamma perioderna i sitt liv.
Nu återstår bara en sak: Sybil måste äntligen skicka brevet hon har burit på i alla dessa år – och hitta förlåtelsen som kan ge henne modet att gå vidare.
Sybil Van Antwerps liv av brev kan tyckas vara en liten sak i det stora hela – men hon är en av de mest oförglömliga romanfigurer du någonsin kommer att möta.

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.

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!

«Imagine: las cartas que uno envió al mundo y las que recibió de vuelta son como piezas de un rompecabezas magnífico... ¿No hay algo maravilloso en eso? Pensar que la historia de una vida queda preservada de alguna manera, que esta misma carta podría significar algo algún día, aunque sea algo pequeño, para alguien».Durante toda su vida, Sybil Van Antwerp ha utilizado la correspondencia para dar sentido al mundo y a su lugar en él. Casi todas las mañanas, alrededor de las diez y media, se sienta a escribir cartas: a su hermano, a su mejor amiga, al rector de la universidad que no le permite asistir como oyente a una clase que desea cursar, a Joan Didion y a Larry McMurtry para decirles lo que piensa de sus últimos libros, y a una persona a la que le escribe a menudo, pero a la que nunca le envía las cartas.Sybil ha vivido una vida plena como madre, abuela, esposa, mujer divorciada y abogada prestigiosa, y espera que su mundo siga como siempre. Pero cuando la correspondencia de alguien de su pasado la obliga a examinar uno de los períodos más dolorosos de su vida, se da cuenta de que la carta que ha estado escribiendo durante años debe ser leída y que no podrá seguir adelante hasta que encuentre en su corazón la capacidad de perdonar.La corresponsal es una joya literaria sobre el poder de encontrar consuelo en la literatura y la conexión con personas con las que tal vez nunca nos encontremos. Y aunque la vida epistolar de Sybil Van Antwerp pueda parecer «algo insignificante», puede ser también uno de los personaje más memorables sobre los que jamás hayas leído. - Häftad, Spanska, 2025
