While reading the chapters that was assigned Sophie meets her mother . What caught my eye was the way she described her mother. Before this meeting, all Sophie knew about her physical appearance was based on that picture. When she first saw her she didn’t know look like the picture Tante atie Sophie described her as tired and drawn  she asked “am I the mother you imagined” and Sophie thought she would be the perfect woman and living the lavish life in New York but it seems like New York didn’t make her life better it wasn’t as good as Sophie thought
