I listened to this as an audio and firstly have to say how well those who read it managed to bring the characters to life. I struggle with listening to fictional books, not always managing to connect with the stories and characters. However, with this one, I felt every word.Having now read two books this year that tell the story through the sending of letters and in this case emails, I have discovered a new engaging and very enjoyable style of storytelling. I find the correspondence makes the characters feel like friends, the connection with them more personal. There are many emotions on show throughout and a few complex family relationships. We learn from our FMC the heartaches and regrets from her life, her discoverey of new adventures, the mending of relationships and the love of new friends and family. I ended the book with a wish that my name was among those she was corresponding with.
I was sad when the correspondence ended, but I felt complete, as I'm sure Sybil felt at the end of her life. And what a life it was. I wasn't sure what drew me to this book (it was the cover actually) as I don't normally read new releases, and I surely didnt know what to expect aside from the synopsis. Sybil reminded me much of my grandmother who is about the same age, and I feel I understood the similarities of her relationship with her daughter. This book addresses, among other things, family, loss, relationships of all sorts, friendships in the most unlikely of situations, regrets, apologies, and overall living life. I loved it so much and honestly wish I could read it again for the first time. Postscript: I hate to admit this, but I laughed entirely too hard at the cat dying, and I'll leave it at that.
