Another quote to ponder. It's the beginning of chapter 4, on page 131.
"It isn't true that a mother is born with her child. It may happen sometimes by an act grace, but most often a mother is made as she struggles with her need for sleep and freedom of movement, over and over choosing to hold and feed and wrap a loudly wailing, soft-skinned being that produces marvelously pungent odors."

Quote I like from this novel (page 71, hard cover)
"....But a pauper isn't just a poor man. ....He's a poor man that expects something from the richer."
