Every purchase helps someone affected by leprosy
Sybil Van Antwerp is seventy-three, slowly losing her sight and always writing letters ... To her children, her favourite authors, her ex-sister-in-law, the journalist poking into her past, her doctor, her suitors, kindly neighbours, the infuriating gardening club and more.
They all receive Sybil’s witty, wise correspondence, rich with everyday concerns. Yet there is one letter that she has never sent. It concerns the darkest period of her life. To post it, Sybil must find forgiveness within herself.

Change Lives With Your Shopping
Your purchase can help to end leprosy. Shopping with us will help fund leprosy research which is vital to ending leprosy transmission by 2035. Recent developments in genotyping strains of leprosy have improved accuracy of finding the source of transmission, meaning tracking and tracing of cases can be much more effective. There is also a PCR test for leprosy being developed which would be a game changer in faster and more accurate diagnosis of leprosy.
