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.

“Subtly told and finely made, The Correspondent is a portrait of a small life expanding. Virginia Evans shows how one woman changes at a point when change had seemed impossible. That change, like this novel, turns out to be a cause for celebration.”—Ann PatchettLIBRARYREADS APRIL PICK • NAMED A GOOD HOUSEKEEPING (UK) MOST ANTICIPATED DEBUT“Imagine, the letters one has sent out into the world, the letters received back in turn, are like the pieces of a magnificent puzzle, or, a better metaphor, if dated, the links of a long chain, and even if those links are never put back together, which they will certainly never be, even if they remain for the rest of time dispersed across the earth like the fragile blown seeds of a dying dandelion, 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?”Sybil Van Antwerp has throughout her life used letters to make sense of the world and her place in it.
