Dearest readers-

Take a pause from the noise and pain of the world and step into The Correspondent. This is not just a book—it is an experience. Through Ms. van Antwerp’s words, and through the incredible narration that delivers them straight to the heart, you are invited into a wholesome, painful, and inspiring correspondence.

Listening felt less like consuming a book and more like being entrusted with someone’s private letters—letters that reveal how messy, beautiful, and surprising life can be. The narration gave each voice warmth, nuance, and authenticity, drawing me deeper into the maze of people who inhabit these pages. I’m going to buy the book and read it for a second chance to dive in.

What I carried away was simple but profound: you never know what is unfolding in someone else’s life, and sometimes our own stubbornness becomes the very barrier to our joy.

And also- reach out to your hero’s, whether that be Ann Patchett or George Lucas.

If you choose the audible edition, prepare not just to listen, but to feel. The correspondence lingers long after the last word, leaving you softer, wiser, and more open to life’s unexpected turns.

Warmly,
A Fellow Listener in the Maze
