2. The Correspondent

By Virginia Evans (281 pp)

This was a gift from Hannah the former librarian and it was excellent! There was a time when I was current on best selling books and authors and who was coming out with what when and who was winning awards. No longer. Other than Fated Mates who give me my romance fix, and anything that shows up in the New Yorker, I am woefully out of it. This was a wonderful surprise.

It's told through letters and the main character is a woman in her 70s who is dealing with some stuff that one might deal with at that late stage of life. It's funny and sad and a very satisfying read.
