Another scorcher out there today.   I did find some shade this morning to finish a book a friend has lent me, “The Correspondent” by Virginia Evans, that I started yesterday. What a brilliant, beautiful novel, full of humour but also bringing me to tears several times. I loved the heroine, Sybil, whose life is told through the many letters she writes and receives. All the characters are carefully drawn and utterly believable. It’s one of those stories where you feel as if you know all the people, their quirks, their loves and their lives and yet the story is full of surprises. Put this one on your reading list!

My reaction to the book reminded of a postcard I showed you recently and here it is again.
