So,
Here are the dialogues
and quotes I liked from the story,
“If I’m lucky
enough to be chosen.”
“If things
worked out the way everyone was hoping, I’d be going halfway around the world
to live with a man I hadn’t even met.”
“Wasn’t it every
woman’s destiny, as Mother was always telling me, to leave the known for the
unknown?”
“A married woman
belongs to her husband, her in-laws.”
“Sometimes it’s
worse when you know what’s coming.”
“It is hard for
me to think of myself as a married woman. I whisper my new name to myself … but
the syllable rustle uneasily in my mouth like a stiff satin that’s never been
worn.”
“I feel caught
in a world where everything is frozen in place, like a scene inside a glass
paperweight. It is a world so small that if I were to stretch out my arms, I
would touch its cold unyielding edges.”
“What I really
want is to work in the store.”
“It didn’t quite
hide that other smell, thin, sour and metallic. The smell of death.”
“That’s when I
know I cannot go back. I don’t know yet how I’ll manage, here in this new,
dangerous land. I only know I must.”
“I straighten my
shoulders and stand taller, take a deep breath … the thought is like an
unexpected, intimate gift. I tilt my chin, readying myself for the arguments of
the coming weeks, the remonstrations. In the mirror a woman holds my gaze, her
eyes apprehensive but steady.”
