Virginia Evans - THE CORRESPONDENT

Thoughts from a Page Podcast

In this interview, I chat with Virginia Evans about ⁠The Correspondent, how her blurbs helped her encapsulate the book's description, the role Ann Patchett has played in her life, Sybil's story arc, her lengthy cover story, the power of human connection, and much more.

Virginia's recommended reads are:

1. The Boy From the Sea by Garrett Carr
2. The Ministry of Time by Kaliane Bradley
3. The Last Devil to Die by Richard Osman
4. Brideshead Revisited by Evelyn Waugh
