What a Day
When Rama woke up that morning she expected to be a lady doctor. By evening everything had changed except her love for Mano. That and Rama's desire to reconnect with her brother. "I want the curtain open," she says. "My brother and I used to watch stars." If she can recall that earlier time, perhaps Rama can cope with her new destiny, whatever that turns out to be.
Book Excerpt
Rama's Labyrinth: A Biographical Novel (Women of Determination and Courage)
“Come, Mano. We’ll sleep close tonight.”
“Can I bring my dolls?”
“Couldn’t you put them on the floor beside the cot?”
“They’ll be lonely. Please, can they come too?” Mano looked at her mother with wide eyes.
“Very well. But no wiggling.”
Mano giggled. “Mama, dolls don’t move.”
“That’s very considerate of them.”
“Pandita, may I close the curtain. It’s so bright outside.” Anandibai said.
Rama shrugged. “I want the curtain open. I’m watching for the first star. My brother and I used to watch stars.” Rama breathed deeply. What a day.
