Over A Glass Of Wine

A truly entertaining psychological mystery! Nobody in the club warned Harry about falling in love with Claire. Nobody knew about her past. Nobody could have guessed the outcome. Over a Glass of Wine is a humorous but gritty narrative, recounting how a group of high-society friends in a wine club and their opposites, a cadre of dysfunctional introverts in a cultish encounter group, provide the grist for a multi-layered psychological thriller dealing with love, sex, lies, and murder. Woven throughout is the amusing and heartfelt story of Claire, an enigmatic woman struggling to conceal the secrets of her past while being pursued by Harry, an affable, flawed, eccentric artist and author. His desire to uncover the mysteries surrounding the woman he loves and his resulting decisions create turmoil and set the scene for an unimaginable ending. Amid this narrative, the reader is also offered engaging insight into the culture of high society and the topics of gastronomy, wine, art, and music, the concepts of anxiety and mindfulness, and a disarming treatise on love and death. In addition, it is the book's intent to take deeper aim at the problems of male dominance, the shifting mores regarding gender equality and the individual's right to gender expression.
