Laurie Lisa:
I was recently asked who Reggie, Audrey, and Cynthia were talking to at the end of the book?
Laurie Lisa
Thank you for the question, which I will try to answer without spoiling the ending.
I prefer to write and read stories that do not have a neat, predictable ending. I like to leave the ending open to interpretation, much like life itself. In The Wine Club, we have three first person narratives. First person narratives, by definition, are unreliable. It is important to remember, too, that by the end of The Wine Club, the three women have pretty much lost touch with reality. The unidentified person that each of the three women is talking to therefore becomes more of a projection of each woman’s emotional state.
Who does each think she is talking to?
