Very interesting points! I wonder if the author intended these metaphors or were they coincidental. I just looked at the fly fishing theme as the thread that tied the group together as friends and a way for the girls to unwind and get away for some "me time." It's true the author included a scene toward the end where each part of the fishing pole is used to describe each of the women; the metaphors you mentioned were subtle and I didn't catch them (no pun intended!).lauren1 wrote: ↑27 Feb 2018, 22:35 In my opinion, Fly fishing was used as a gigantic metaphor in the book The Reel Sisters. It seemed every "on land" struggle the women had, translated to trouble in the river when they fished. For example; When Sophie was vacillating about dating and consequently couldn't seem to catch a fish. Another example was when Melanie (who was trying to escape the pressure of all her parent's hopes and dreams) learned to catch a fish and then let it go.

I feel the same way as you do.I had never heard of fly fishing before this book.Ndifrekedem wrote: ↑02 Feb 2018, 16:21 This is my first time of hearing about fly fishing, I had to google it to find more or know more about this sport. That is the good thing about reading, learning new things is not bad it's helps widen your horizons. So thumps up Michelle for teaching me something new
