She did not look like the picture Tante Atie had on her night table. Her face was long and hollow. Her hair had a blunt cut and she had long spindly legs.

It was as though she had never stopped working in the cane fields after all.
Haggard. She doesn’t look like her mom and could look like her father (whom she doesn’t know either). Difference between Martine and Sophie. She doesn’t view her mom as her mother.
