In this section of the novel (20-27) sophie was still in haiti when i started reading again. She is still with Tante Atie and her grandmother too. They recive a casset player which is from Sophies mother and she is concerned on where sophie is and also lets her know that joseph is looking for her too. Sophie and atie reflect and think about the time they lost together. I was shocked to read the part about sophies mothers past, and it was more shocking to read that she tried to kill herself. At one point in the story, Sophie was talking with her family members about the tests women go through. Atie said each finger had a purpose and as she was naming off the purposes it started to remind me of the short story “Girl” by Jamaica Kincaid, based off the way that story was told and the way atie was speaking which was a nice connection.
