Review from The Correspondent →
Loved this book and really think the many narrators made the Audible version exceptional. A wonderful story uniquely told through letters.
I’m surprised this was so highly rated. I decided to pick this up after being told by several people and reading lists that this book was excellent. This is basically like reading one of your parent’s friend’s entire Facebook wall out loud. Not very interesting but points for the creative concept, although not an original..
What can I say about this book… It got me tearing… not crying out loud, but man, it was so touching that the tears just came out without me even realizing it!!! It was such an incredible story of the main character, Sybil, the correspondent, and the woman who overcame her mistake by understanding herself..
I really enjoyed the writing style, thought that the characters were well formed and had fun twists that made for a compelling read!
Such a lovely story and so many voices that created an excellent presentation. It made me want to write a letter or two because this book made me realize that letter writing is an art.
I feared that the multiplicity of characters as senders and receivers of correspondence might make it difficult to follow the audiobook. However it is so well constructed that I kept being engaged and did not loose track. I enjoyed following the main character Sybil as she faces the challenges of aging, illness, and reflecting on..
To meet this remarkable character. I admire her in so many ways, not least because she learns to see her flaws, and makes amends for her mistakes. I think I’ll go and write a letter to a friend now! Excellent performances, too.
