'I fell in love with Sybil, such a wonderful character'
MARGOT LIVESEY

Every morning at around half past ten, Sybil Van Antwerp sits down to write letters - to her brother, to her best friend, to the president of the university who will not allow her to attend a class she desperately wants to take, to her favourite authors to tell them what she thinks of their latest books.

Because at seventy-three, Sybil has used her correspondence - full of sharp humour and hard-earned wisdom - to make sense of the world. But beyond the page, she has spent the last thirty years keeping the people who love her at arms' length. Until letters from someone she had put out of her mind land on her doorstep, forcing her to reckon with her past mistakes.
For as Sybil is about to learn, it's never too late to write a few post-scripts.
