Durante toda su vida, Sybil Van Antwerp ha utilizado la correspondencia 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 rector de la universidad que no le permite asistir como oyente a una clase que desea cursar, a Joan Didion y a Larry McMurtry para compartirles sus impresiones sobre sus ultimos libros, y a una persona a la que escribe con frecuencia, pero a la que nunca envia sus cartas. Sybil ha tenido una vida plena como madre, abuela, esposa, mujer divorciada y abogada prestigiosa, y confia en que su mundo siga igual. Sin embargo, cuando la correspondencia de alguien de su pasado la obliga a enfrentarse a uno de los periodos mas dolorosos de su vida, comprende que la carta que ha estado escribiendo durante años debe por fin ser leida, y que no podra avanzar hasta encontrar en su corazon la capacidad de perdonar. La corresponsal es una joya literaria sobre el poder de hallar consuelo en la literatura y en la conexion con personas que quiza nunca lleguemos a conocer. Y aunque la vida epistolar de Sybil Van Antwerp pueda parecer algo insignificante, ella puede convertirse en uno de los personajes mas memorables que jamas hayas leido.
