Absolute best book I’ve ever read/listened to. An immersive must. Having the letters in print is beautiful, but the narrators truly brought this story to life in ways I could have never imagined. Every emotion was portrayed. Humor, grief, anxiety, devastation. I felt it all and more. I’ll carry this one with me forever. Truly.

What a great story. At first it’s a bit hard to understand what is going on and what this story was about. But once you get to the bones of all of the relationships of the characters, it all comes together and it’s is a lovey of love, relations, regrets and grief. BEAUTIFUL.

Such a moving and beautifully written novel. I so enjoyed getting to know and understand Sybil as the book progressed. Although the story involves grief and loss, it is balanced with humor and compassion. The narration was excellent.
Character development over time was great! Thought provoking storyline. Loved the multiple narrators! Brought the whole book to life. Would love to hear more done in this fashion. Well done!

Ohhhh but such a lovely, touching, life-altering experience it has been to know Sybil Van Antwerp. If ever there was an audio version masterpiece, this simply must be it! Very well done! I will grieve the finishing of this beautiful book for a long time to come 💗

Essentially a story about many peoples lives completely written through letters I wish I could write like Sybils and I’d tell you what I really think. Also, I’m gonna start writing letters to my grandchildren, and maybe my daughters. Not emails, not text messages but letters with stamps. This book was so moving it was..
