Reading Selections
GET LOST IN THE MAGIC OF STORIES
JANUARY 2026
THE CORRESPONDENT
We’re ringing in the new year by celebrating the timeless art of letter writing. Our January selection is The Correspondent by Virginia Evans, a debut novel that has quickly become a literary sensation. Told through letters, this exquisite story follows Sybil Van Antwerp, a woman whose life unfolds through the art of correspondence.
We’re delighted to welcome Virginia Evans for an intimate conversation about how The Correspondent came to life, why she chose to tell the story through letters, and what writing this book taught her about human connection.
