Chapter 2: Memories of Home

The image from Chapter 2 that deeply touched me...

"Whenever she had felt particularly lonesome, she remembered, she used to set a tumbler of club soda on her nightstand. She used to go to sleep listening to the bubbles bounce against the glass with a faint, steady, peaceful whispering sound that had reminded her of the fountain in her family's courtyard back home."

Beautiful...

  1. I loved that image! that really gave me an idea of how much she missed her family and her home in Iran, and how much she needed a sense of belonging. a feeling of being home.
