While reading chapters 20 through 27 I found it interesting how Martine was so quick to throw Sophie out and it took her two years to even reach out to her own daughter she worked hard to get to New York. So, now Martine has reached out and is worried about Sophie. Also, I find it interesting how Sophie doesn’t look like any of her family members but the result of her mothers rape & Grandme Ife feels as though Bridgette looks like generations of ancestors. In Chapter 21 you find out that Martine attempted suicide many times and Sophie unable to forget about her mother testing her every time she sleeps with her husband. Both of them have tried to forget by fleeing the place of hurt. Skipping to chapters 24-27 Martine has now shown up. She kind of brings closure to a lot of things happening. Sophie’s trip from Haiti to Martine at 12 years old has come back now by Martine’s own trip to Sophie in Haiti eight years later. Haiti is important because Martine must go home to make peace with her past. Martine and Tante Atie’s conversation is sensing betrayal.
