BESTSELLER DEL NEW YORK TIMES Descubre la novela que ha conquistado a los lectores y que Ann Patchett calificó como un motivo de celebración La corresponsal es la novela revelación del año que nadie vio venir. --The Wall Street Journal
Lloré más de una vez al ver cómo esta brillante mujer llegaba a comprenderse más profundamente a sà misma. --Florence Knapp, autora de Los nombres
ImagÃnate, las cartas que enviamos al mundo, las cartas que recibimos en respuesta, son como las piezas de un magnÃfico rompecabezas, o para una metáfora mejor: si tienen fecha, son los eslabones de una larga cadena, y aun si esos eslabones nunca vuelven a unirse, que claramente no lo harán, incluso si permanecen el resto del tiempo esparcidos por toda la tierra, como las frágiles semillas al viento de un moribundo diente de león, no hay algo maravilloso en ello, en pensar que la historia de tu vida se conserva de alguna manera, que un dÃa esta misma carta podrÃa significar algo, aunque fuera algo muy pequeño, para alguien? Sybil Van Antwerp se ha valido de las cartas a lo largo de su vida para dar sentido al mundo y a su lugar en él. Casi todas las mañanas, alrededor de las diez y media, se sienta a escribir cartas: a su hermano, a su mejor amiga, al presidente de la universidad que no le permite auditar una clase que está desesperada por tomar, a Joan Didion y a Larry McMurty para decirles lo que opina de sus últimos libros, y a una persona a la que escribe seguido, pero cuyas cantas nunca envÃa. Sybil espera que su mundo siga girando como hasta ahora: madre, abuela, esposa, divorciada, abogada distinguida; ha tenido una vida plena. Pero cuando las cartas de alguien de su pasado la obligan a examinar uno de los periodos más dolorosos de su vida, se da cuenta de que la carta que ha estado escribiendo a lo largo de los años pide ser leÃda, y ya no puede seguir adelante hasta encontrar en su corazón la manera de perdonar. Colmada de ese conocimiento que solo proviene de vivir al máximo, La corresponsal es una joya de novela sobre el poder de hallar consuelo en la literatura y conexión con gente que quizás no conozcamos nunca en persona. Se trata de la soberbia de la juventud y de la sabidurÃa de la vejez, asà como de los errores y los actos de bondad que ocurren en el transcurso de una vida entera. Evans maneja con maestrÃa el ritmo con el que completa los vacÃos en la vida de su protagonista. --Frank Bruni, The New York Times
Lloré más de una vez al ver cómo esta mujer brillante llegaba a comprenderse a sà misma en mayor profundidad. --Florence Knapp, autora de The Names ENGLISH DESCRIPTION #1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER - Discover the word-of-mouth hit hailed by Ann Patchett as A cause for celebration--an intimate novel about the transformative power of the written word and the beauty of slowing down to reconnect with the people we love. The Correspondent is this year's breakout novel no one saw coming.--The Wall Street Journal I cried more than once as I witnessed this brilliant woman come to understand herself more deeply.--Florence Knapp, author of The Names In development as a major motion picture starring Jane Fonda LONGLISTED FOR THE CENTER FOR FICTION FIRST NOVEL PRIZE, THE ANDREW CARNEGIE MEDAL, AND THE WOMEN'S PRIZE FOR FICTION - A BEST BOOK OF THE YEAR: NPR, The Washington Post, Boston Globe, Elle, Christian Science Monitor, She Reads A woman tries to heal old wounds and make sense of the world the only way she knows how--through letters--in this charming, laugh out loud debut novel about a life fully lived.
Subtly told and finely made, The Correspondent is a portrait of a small life expanding. Virginia Evans shows how one woman changes at a point when change had seemed impossible. That change, like this novel, turns out to be a cause for celebration.--Ann Patchett Imagine, the letters one has sent out into the world, the letters received back in turn, are like the pieces of a magnificent puzzle, or, a better metaphor, if dated, the links of a long chain, and even if those links are never put back together, which they will certainly never be, even if they remain for the rest of time dispersed across the earth like the fragile blown seeds of a dying dandelion, isn't there something wonderful in that, to think that a story of one's life is preserved in some way, that this very letter may one day mean something, even if it is a very small thing, to someone? Sybil Van Antwerp has throughout her life used letters to make sense of the world and her place in it. Most mornings, around half past ten, Sybil sits down to write letters--to her brother, to her best friend, to the president of the university who will not allow her to audit a class she desperately wants to take, to Joan Didion and Larry McMurtry to tell them what she thinks of their latest books, and to one person to whom she writes often yet never sends the letter. Sybil expects her world to go on as it always has--a mother, grandmother, wife, divorcee, distinguished lawyer, she has lived a very full life. But when letters from someone in her past force her to examine one of the most painful periods of her life, she realizes that the letter she has been writing over the years needs to be read and that she cannot move forward until she finds it in her heart to offer forgiveness. Filled with knowledge that only comes from a life full
