Beautiful Story
Review from The Correspondent →
This is a beautiful story that captures the essence of how even brilliant people can be closed off from others in different ways, how we dont always know the pain that other peope experience, and important it is to give those we love some grace and kindness, because we just never know what internal struggles..
I turned it off as soon as I got political and will not go back to it

Masterful novel in its creativity & story line. I wept the last 20 minutes of the novel. Who would have thought a book written through the lens of letters & texts could be so powerful, moving & eloquent.
This was a book that left me pondering my own relationships. The use of letters to slowly reveal the personality and life events of the main character, Sybil, was effective and different.

A real winner!!
