television journalist and often covered stories about violent crimes and mysterious disappearances. She eventually decided to write her own stories with unexpected endings. Awad also writes historical romance as Diana Quincy and historical mystery as D. M. Quincy. She is now happily settled in Virginia but still gets the itch to explore far-off places. When she’s not bent over her laptop, Awad reads, devours streaming thriller series, and plots her next travel adventure.
Awad's new novel is As Far as She Knew.
Recently I asked the author about what she was reading. Awad's response:
I just finished The Correspondent, an epistolary novel that unfolds completely through letters and emails. Normally, I’m not a hugeVisit Diana Awad's website.fan of this format but decided to give The Correspondent, written by Virginia Evans, a try after it was highly recommended by a friend and named to a few best book of the year lists. The novel focuses on Sybil, a retired law clerk in her seventies, who documents her life through letters and texts. In these missives, she explores loss, coming to terms with grief, human connection and finding love late in life. The Correspondent is a quiet novel and it is that quietude that makes it so powerful. However, what drew me to the novel the most was its celebration of the written word and its ode to the vanishing art of letter writing.
