Won the Women's Prize for Fiction (2026).

The Correspondent won the Women's Prize for Fiction 2026, was a Sunday Times bestseller, a #1 New York Times bestseller, and was named a Times Book of the Year 2025. Sybil Van Antwerp is seventy-three, slowly losing her sight and always writing letters . . . To her children. Her favourite authors. Her ex-sister-in-law. The journalist poking into her past. Her doctor. Suitors. Kindly neighbours. The infuriating gardening club. All receive Sybil's witty, wise correspondence, rich with everyday concerns. But there is one letter that she has never sent. It concerns the darkest period of her life. To post it, Sybil must find forgiveness within herself. The hardest letter to write is the one you'd never dare to send.
