Will I love The Correspondent?

When I first started The Correspondent, I found it a bit confusing and had to jot down who was who to keep everything straight. But that didn’t last long, once I settled in, I was hooked. The story centers on Sylvia, a senior woman who was ahead of her time professionally, and whose life unfolds through letters to family, friends, and even film stars, authors, and politicians. Through her correspondence, we see her regrets, kindnesses, heartbreak, health struggles, and moments of joy.
At first, I wasn’t sure about the letter-writing format, but it ended up being one of the things… show more.

How original to write the novel through the medium of letters. The storytelling was masterful.
