Maggie Donofrio answers “In confused about the end. Was Lottie...” — Bury Our Bones in... Q&A

CeeJ asked this question about Bury Our Bones in the Midnight Soil:

In confused about the end. Was Lottie going to kill Alice with the brush before she killed Lottie with it? From the writing it seemed like Alice thought Lottie would kill her, until she saw it was “just a brush”,, but then she killed Lottie anyway.
