A must read—and listening is the best way to experience this gem of a novel.
Outstanding in every sense
Review from The Correspondent →
I loved, loved, loved this book! I read it and listened to it. The voices really brought the characters to life. The writing was so beautiful and the way the life of Sybil unfolds through her correspondence, back and forth, with the people in her life; genius! There is so much to learn from her..
was recommended this book and then saw it “blow up” at the library I work at with so many folks requesting a copy. Our hold list is large! Because of this I jumped it to the front of my very long queue of “To be read”. I enjoyed it so very much. I listened to..
Beautifully written. Perfectly narrated. Thank you. It gave me many thoughts and memories. I cannot wait to refer it to my friends.
I loved the Audible version of this book. It slowly drew me in, until I really cared about the main character. How her life story is woven between letters, those she has written, and those she has received, was very well done. A talent of a bygone era, letter writing that is. I enjoyed it..
This book had me in tears. A whole life lived through letters. I connected to sybil in a way i didnt think possible
My brother, with whom we have little in common, recommended the book. I am so glad I bought the Audible, as I told him, he was robbed with the written word. I wish I could say why this book is so lovely and why he recommended it to me personally and what now makes it..
I appreciated listening to how letters, a journal can share a life for generations of families and friends.. beautifully written the story & letters.
This was a very engaging story, told through letter written to and from the main character, a driven yet flawed older woman whose life and relationships unfold in this delightful storytelling format. I enjoyed the telling so much!
