We Drank Wine

The foibles of four women, their families, and neighbours form a web of stories woven among the rituals of sharing wine. These accounts are a cosmic peek into the lives of everyday people. Each story offers insight into the challenges of friendship, marriage, and motherhood as the characters search for meaning.

Marion Reidel's first collection is a satisfying series of satirical tales that blend observation with personal experience. If you are amused by the absurdity of humour in everyday lives, you will find someone you recognise in these tales. Whatever the gamut of emotions you encounter when you inhale the bouquet of these delicious narratives, you will be intrigued by the fates of the characters in We Drank Wine.
