Manage episode 428358468 series 2794390
On this episode of Complicated Conversations we welcome Ally Condie, the #1 NYT bestselling author of The Matched trilogy, to discuss her debut adult thriller, The Unwedding, which was Reese Book Club’s June pick and has been described at White Lotus meets Agatha Christie!
We chat with Ally about the personal inspiration for her main character, Ellery, a newly divorced woman who travels alone on the 20th anniversary trip she had planned to take with her then husband; her exploration of grief and healing; the importance of the setting of Big Sur as a way to add tension and danger to this locked room mystery; and the how the title of the novel reflects the cyclical nature of relationships and the hidden parts of ourselves.
