"The Correspondent" by Virginia Evans
"Filled with knowledge that only comes from a life fully lived, this is a gem of a novel about the power of finding solace in literature and connection with people we might never meet in person. It is about the hubris of youth and the wisdom of old age, and the mistakes and acts of kindness that occur during a lifetime."
