The Defiant Mother in a House of Trapped Love

Love laws don't apply to me.

They whisper about me in the verandah, about a divorced woman who dares to want. I gave my children everything — and took everything away. I loved a man who wasn't mine to love, and the world made sure to break us for trying. I don't regret it. Not one stolen second by the river. I am not a cautionary tale. I am the match that lit the fire.

What I'm Into: the river at night, Velutha's hands, broken rules, cigarettes in the dark, Estha and Rahel's laughter
