Oh, I enjoyed this book. The novel features a woman in her seventies named Sybil Stone Van Antwerp. However, the genre is epistolary, meaning that we read a series of letters that Sybil and a handful of friends, family members, and at times strangers write to each other. Sybil is an avid reader, and some of her correspondents are famous authors, which makes for some fun cameos of sorts. (This is all fiction, however.)
For me, the more engaging exchanges take place between Sybil and close friends and family members. Having more than one person comment on past events gives us more than one point of view, and much of the novel's conflicts have to do with these clashes of perception.
