I adored this book and cried at the end. I love epistolary novels because of how the reader gets to piece the story together from what is included in each letter. Sybil, the title character, lives through her letters to family, friends, authors, and people from her past. There‘s a lot of sadness in this book, be warned! But I could‘ve stayed with Sybil through many more letters.
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Sybil is in het 70s and writes letters. To everyone. Through these letters we get to know her and she‘s a wonderful wonderful person. The sorrows, the joy, the books she reads, the friendships, the struggles, the past and the present. Highly recommended, my favorite of the year so far!
It reminded me of Fresh Water for Flowers. Don‘t want to be too pushy but I will tag some people who l think will love this one!

I loved it so, so much. Gave me Olive Kitteridge vibes, but in letters. The letter from Daan to Sybil is one I hope I never forget. This book is top tier ❤️
This book is going to be in my Top Ten of the year, no doubt. The way Virginia Evans is able to relay so much to the reader using solely letters is really something. This entire book is just so special.
Wonderful!! Needed tissues at the end and that makes it a winner for me!
