Such. Is. Life. (Is this your kind of life - living each day with dedication, steadfastness, and love for one's vocation; devoid of ambition, not seeking power or promotion?)

Just finished reading "The Correspondent". At its heart is Sybil Van Antwerp, a 73-year-old retired lawyer whose life unfolds through a series of letters. Intelligent, witty, fiercely independent, and deeply human, Sybil carries the weight of grief, regret, and a complicated relationship with her daughter, marked by years of misunderstanding and emotional distance.

Reading the correspondence is like peeling back the layers of an onion. With each letter, another piece of Sybil's story is revealed: unexpected relationships, hidden family connections, long-held secrets, and journeys that lead her to discover relatives she never knew existed. The novel also offers a powerful reminder that the decisions we make in our professional lives can have consequences far beyond the workplace, shaping not only our own futures but also the lives of others in ways we may never fully appreciate at the time.

What I loved most is its reminder that our stories are never finished. Even in her seventies, Sybil finds new family, new understanding, and opportunities for reconciliation and growth. A beautifully written and deeply reflective novel that reminds us it is never too late to confront the past, repair relationships, and discover new chapters waiting to be written.

A rather timely book on freedom of speech and censorship. And yes, the business of bookselling.

One day, you said to me, "I saw the sunset forty-four times!"

And a little later you added:

"You know-- one loves the sunset, when one is so sad..."

"Were you so sad, then?" I asked, "on the day of the forty-four sunsets?"

But the little prince made no reply.

"We must never look for discretion in first love. First love is accompanied by such excessive joy that unless the joy be allowed to overflow, it will stifle you."
- Alexander Dumas (The Three Musketeers)
