What Is an Epilogue?
An epilogue is a chapter that ends a novel or memoir. It’s often moment when the reader learns the final fates of the characters or when the hook for a sequel is revealed. Not all novels and memoirs have epilogues, but the ones that do tend to be shorter than other chapters. They are also usually different in tone, point of view, or time period versus other chapters in the book.
