The Correspondent by Virginia Evans

Sybil, in her seventies, lives in Maryland, where she tends to her garden and writes letters to the people in her life, such as her younger brother Felix in Paris and her best friend since childhood, Rosalie. Rosalie and Sybil actually married Belgian brothers, Lars and Daan (Sybil and Daan divorced many years ago). Sybil also corresponds with a teenager named Harry, the son of a judge she knew when she was a lawyer. The novel spans seven years in Sybil's life, as the reader meets the people in Sybil's circle through her letters. A book to ponder and savor with a memorable main character. A great read-alike for Meet Me at the Museum and The Brilliant Life of Eudora Honeysett.
