Corespondentul: Un roman de Virginia Evans

I enjoyed The Correspondent; it took me longer to get into than most other books I've read. I almost didn't finish it, but I'm glad I did. Once I really got into the story, I found it very engaging. The format of the story being told through letters felt very unique. It was an interesting way to develop the plot and the characters. I felt like I really understood Sybil. She was very relatable. She went through real life stuff, had conflicts, relationships that felt real, and thoughts that I belive most could relate with. I'm glad I stuck with the book and enjoyed the story. If you're willing to give it a little time to build, it's a good book.

This book is one I could hardly bear to finish as I wasn't ready to say goodbye to the characters. Such an interesting format and well-written story. I've recommended it to many friends and it's a winner each time. Heartwarming and charming.

In my 71 years, I have read many books, but only two I didn't want to end. Lonesome Dove and now, The Correspondent. Imagine my delight when I learned Sylvie loved Lonesome Dove, also. The characters were well developed. I could picture each one of them in my mind. So much love. So much pain. So much spoken (via written word) and so much left unsaid until the end. Theo of Golden was the last book I read, and I was delighted to have another wonderful "Theo" in my life. It makes me want to go buy some lovely writing paper.

this was a good book and well written! i really liked how each chapter was a letter. it was written very well and i was never bored throughout.

This book is both easy & gut-wrenching to read. Like so many of us, I find it difficult, if not guilt-inducing, to take time out of life to enjoy one of its great pleasures: reading simply for the joy of it. The author's structure of the book (I won't give it away) makes taking little sips easy & helps the book go down nicely as a result.

I found the beginning of the book a bit slow, sometimes angering, as the protagonist says & does things that made me question her motives & even mine as I thought, good god- have I ever said such a thing? (Of course, the answer is probably, right? Undoubtedly why her actions angered me so much). But like a roller coaster, once this story made it over the apex, holy cow- I found myself reading with tears rolling down my face, and at the end, relieved it was over, but still sad to see it end. I'm glad I read it as a book club book- I wouldn't have ventured into this if not. Some books touch your heart- this one definitely did mine.
