BESTSELLER DEL NEW YORK TIMES

Descubre la novela que ha conquistado a los lectores y que Ann Patchett calificó como "un motivo de celebración"

"La corresponsal es la novela revelación del año que nadie vio venir". --The Wall Street Journal

"Lloré más de una vez al ver cómo esta brillante mujer llegaba a comprenderse más profundamente a sí misma". --Florence Knapp, autora de Los nombres

Próximamente una gran película protagonizada por Jane Fonda.

Finalista en la lista larga del Center for Fiction First Novel Prize, la Andrew Carnegie Medal y el Women's Prize for Fiction - Uno de los mejores libros del año según NPR, The Washington Post, Boston Globe, Elle, Christian Science Monitor y She Reads.

"Imagínate, las cartas que enviamos al mundo, las cartas que recibimos en respuesta, son como las piezas de un magnífico rompecabezas, o para una metáfora mejor: si tienen fecha, son los eslabones de una larga cadena, y aun si esos eslabones nunca vuelven a unirse, que claramente no lo harán, incluso si permanecen el resto del tiempo esparcidos por toda la tierra, como las frágiles semillas al viento de un moribundo diente de león, ¿no hay algo maravilloso en ello, en pensar que la historia de tu vida se conserva de alguna manera, que un día esta misma carta podría significar algo, aunque fuera algo muy pequeño, para alguien?"

Sybil Van Antwerp se ha valido de las cartas a lo largo de su vida para dar sentido al mundo y a su lugar en él. Casi todas las mañanas, alrededor de las diez y media, se sienta a escribir cartas: a su hermano, a su mejor amiga, al presidente de la universidad que no le permite auditar una clase que está desesperada por tomar, a Joan Didion y a Larry McMurty para decirles lo que opina de sus últimos libros, y a una persona a la que escribe seguido, pero cuyas cantas nunca envía.

Sybil espera que su mundo siga girando como hasta ahora: madre, abuela, esposa, divorciada, abogada distinguida; ha tenido una vida plena. Pero cuando las cartas de alguien de su pasado la obligan a examinar uno de los periodos más dolorosos de su vida, se da cuenta de que la carta que ha estado escribiendo a lo largo de los años pide ser leída, y ya no puede seguir adelante hasta encontrar en su corazón la manera de perdonar.

Colmada de ese conocimiento que solo proviene de vivir al máximo, La corresponsal es una joya de novela sobre el poder de hallar consuelo en la literatura y conexión con gente que quizás no conozcamos nunca en persona. Se trata de la soberbia de la juventud y de la sabiduría de la vejez, así como de los errores y los actos de bondad que ocurren en el transcurso de una vida entera.

"Evans maneja con maestría el ritmo con el que completa los vacíos en la vida de su protagonista." --Frank Bruni, The New York Times

"Lloré más de una vez al ver cómo esta mujer brillante llegaba a comprenderse a sí misma en mayor profundidad." --Florence Knapp, autora de The Names

"I cried more than once as I witnessed this brilliant woman come to understand herself more deeply."--Florence Knapp, author of The Names

In development as a major motion picture starring Jane Fonda

LONGLISTED FOR THE CENTER FOR FICTION FIRST NOVEL PRIZE, THE ANDREW CARNEGIE MEDAL, AND THE WOMEN'S PRIZE FOR FICTION - A BEST BOOK OF THE YEAR: NPR, The Washington Post, Boston Globe, Elle, Christian Science Monitor, She Reads

A woman tries to heal old wounds and make sense of the world the only way she knows how--through letters--in this charming, laugh out loud debut novel about a life fully lived.

"Subtly told and finely made, The Correspondent is a portrait of a small life expanding. Virginia Evans shows how one woman changes at a point when change had seemed impossible. That change, like this novel, turns out to be a cause for celebration."--Ann Patchett

"Imagine, the letters one has sent out into the world, the letters received back in turn, are like the pieces of a magnificent puzzle, or, a better metaphor, if dated, the links of a long chain, and even if those links are never put back together, which they will certainly never be, even if they remain for the rest of time dispersed across the earth like the fragile blown seeds of a dying dandelion, isn't there something wonderful in that, to think that a story of one's life is preserved in some way, that this very letter may one day mean something, even if it is a very small thing, to someone?"

Sybil Van Antwerp has throughout her life used letters to make sense of the world and her place in it. Most mornings, around half past ten, Sybil sits down to write letters--to her brother, to her best friend, to the president of the university who will not allow her to audit a class she desperately wants to take, to Joan Didion and Larry McMurtry to tell them what she thinks of their latest books, and to one person to whom she writes often yet never sends the letter.

Sybil expects her world to go on as it always has--a mother, grandmother, wife, divorcee, distinguished lawyer, she has lived a very full life. But when letters from someone in her past force her to examine one of the most painful periods of her life, she realizes that the letter she has been writing over the years needs to be read and that she cannot move forward until she finds it in her heart to offer forgiveness.

Filled with knowledge that only comes from a life fully lived, The Correspondent is a gem of a novel about the power of finding solace in literature and connection with people we might never meet in person. It is about the hubris of youth and the wisdom of old age, and the mistakes and acts of kindness that occur during a lifetime. Sybil Van Antwerp's life of letters might be "a very small thing," but she also might be one of the most memorable characters you will ever read.

Boys linen fabric suit
Color: Light Green, Size: 16
Boys suit set in a lighter green color. This suit is made with good proportions and seems to fit well. The sizing seems slightly big so maybe size down one size. The fabric does wrinkle easily so be aware that sitting and folding the suit may cause wrinkling. Otherwise it is a very nice suit for a formal occasion. It comes in many good colors.

Nice elegant suit for any occasion.
Color: Light Blue, Size: 12, Color: Light Blue, Size: 12
The suit set is very nice, the fabric material is durable and soft. Overall stitching is tight with nice surging of the hems and great construction on the shoulders. Buttons and button wholes are well done. I'm going to iron in the creases on the front of the pants because they weren't folded properly for shipping. The material does hold on to wrinkles so don't be afraid of your iron to get a super sharp look. The color is a soft baby blue that stands out in a crowd of black suits. With the option of an elastic tie or clip on bowtie this is everything you need to make him look presentable for a variety of occasions. My only complaint about this suit kit is the dress shirt is stiff and thin. I found some loose threads that I don't trust to not get played with. I'll probably trade it out for something with a little more cotton. As far as cost goes mid range, but definitely worth the cost. I might consider something with a vest if it's a super formal event, but I'm very happy with how this suit comes together.

Modern luxury with summer fabric that performs above its price!
Color: Beige, Size: 14, Color: Beige, Size: 14
Wow! My son wore it for Easter Sunday and this suit fits the bill! The linen material is spot on--not too heavy and not too light especially since the weather is warming up now. The jacket is quality made--the design is modern executive, the stitches are strong no flaws to note. The pants are tad bit longer but that's okay, build quality is also great. The white shirt is decent and matches well with the rest of the set. The bow tie and tie itself is a great complimentary to the set, though optional to wear. The whole set just has that quality you would really look for in the price range you would want to pay. Overall, best value for for the, wear right outside the bag, maybe a light ironing otherwise it's perfect! I highly recommend it, no complaints here very happy with this suit!

Heavy linen character, but a beautifully tailored suit!
Color: Beige, Size: 4, Color: Beige, Size: 4
This is a really nice linen suit! The jacket is beautifully made and well-tailored, with a fun speckled texture that has lots of pretty color variation (we ordered the beige). When I placed it side by side with a similar linen suit from another brand, the difference in the linen texture was really noticeable — this had a much stronger linen character that stands out! It has three useful pockets on the outside of the jacket, which is great for little hands. The only downside is that one of the inside pockets is just for show (faux), which was a bit surprising and somewhat disappointing for my little guy. The pants have pockets too, but they aren’t very deep — perfect for small treasures, but not much more. The pants are made from a lighter, thinner single-layer linen compared to the fully lined, double-layer jacket, which makes sense for comfort and easy movement. The pants didn’t come with a front crease ironed in, so you’ll want to press one yourself. The linen did pick up some creases from being folded in the package, but it doesn’t seem quite as wrinkly as some other linen fabrics I’ve tried. Still, like most linen clothes, especially for boys, the pants will need occasional ironing to keep them looking neat and crisp, especially after a day of play and general wear. The structured, lined jacket stays looking smoother and more put-together with less effort. It also came with a bow tie, a neck tie, and a tuxedo-style white shirt as extras. The ties aren’t great quality — they’d work fine for quick photos but probably won’t hold up to much actual wear. The formal white shirt feels a bit funny paired with the casual linen suit, but I don’t mind at all. We already have white shirts that we prefer, so we’ll use those instead. For us, the extras are really just bonus items we won’t plan on using. Overall, it’s a handsome little suit that’s perfect for special occasions like weddings, family photos, or holiday events. My kid looked adorable in it! The stronger linen texture on the jacket gives it a premium feel that I really like. Just be ready for a bit of extra care with the pants to keep everything sharp.

Great suit set
Color: Light Grey, Size: 4
It is incredibly attractive and includes everything a young child needs for a special occasion. The material is a 75% polyester and 25% linen blend, and the outer fabric feels remarkably smooth. Its unstructured design allows for an attractive, natural drape, and the blend conveniently allows for machine washing at home. As is typical with linen-based materials, the fabric can be naturally stiff and prone to wrinkling, so I recommend ironing or steaming it before use. The lightweight feel makes it an excellent choice for the spring, summer, and fall months. Overall, this suit offers exceptional value for the price.
