Evans's enchanting epistolary novel revolves around prickly septuagenarian Sybil Van Antwerp . . . [with] a dash of mystery that keeps the pages flying. --The Washington Post ---

"The word-of-mouth bestseller of 2025 might be this quietly dazzling epistolary novel, ... Note by note, Sybil's world takes shape, raising poignant, timely questions about mercy and how we're all connected." --The New York Times, "Book of the Week"

"The charming debut from Evans takes the form of letters and emails exchanged by a divorced and retired woman with her friends, family, foes, and literary idols. . . . the detailed connections between each character are brilliantly mapped through the correspondence. It adds up to an appealing family drama." --Publishers Weekly

"The Correspondent is this year's breakout novel no one saw coming."--The Wall Street Journal
