Through her letters we get to understand the emotional complexity of our main character the 73 year old Sybil Van Antwerp. Sybil has been a letter writer all her life - to friends, to family and to authors with comments on their books. Yet somehow Sybil has used her insightful and amusing correspondence to also keep those who love her at a distance. And to one person she has written a letter many times, but never found the courage to send it. Geoff says: "This book has had a huge, positive response around the world. In Sybil Van Antwerp Virginia Evans has given the world of literature another memorable voice."
