Cracking India - Bapsi Sidhwa (1) in Curbed (by the damn library) Annotations

Okay, this is a book for my Literature of India class, and I really can't spend a long time on this entry because my test is due by 11:55, but I just wanted to record this line of Lenny's about her brother:

"He is beautiful. He is the most beautiful thing, animal, person, building, river or mountain that I have seen."

The book is impossible - this five year old is impossibly precocious - but I love parts of it. And really, maybe she isn't so impossible. Matthew powered unaided through 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea at age three, after all.
