At 73, retired lawyer and devoted letter writer Sybil Van Antwerp navigates her daily life and reflects on her past, but when unexpected letters open old wounds, she must confront a painful chapter that reshapes her understanding of herself and her world.
This is a fantastic and engrossing read for relationship fiction lovers. It is equally yoked between snarky commentary and heartbreaking realizations. And if you are an audio-book listener this has an exceptional cast. Highly recommended.
