"You said we'd stay in India"
Remember Mano? Rama's daughter is old enough for college. She's ready for her entrance exams to Bombay University. But Rama says, 'no.' Rama wants her daughter to go to school in England. Mano seldom sees her mother. She feels rejected. Imagine. Rama spends her time saving others, but not with her daughter. But at least she came for a visit. I don't think Rama ever understood how much her daughter missed her.
Book Excerpt
Rama's Labyrinth: A Biographical Novel (Women of Determination and Courage)
They’re going to London to put their daughter in school. I’ve arranged for you to join their family.”
“The Dyers?” Mano made a face. “I’d rather stay near you.”
Rama stroked Mano’s hair. “Darling, I hardly have time to spend with you now. I have to make the farm habitable and care for the refugees and the girls here.”
Mano started crying. “That’s not the point, Mama. At least in India I can see you sometimes. But if you send me to England...well, anything could happen. What if you get sick? Who’ll look after you?”
“I won’t get sick.”
“Mama, you told me a girl should be with her mother. You said we’d stay in India.”
