Quote #10
Their beautiful mother's mouth, Estha thought. Ammu's mouth.
That had kissed his hand through the barred train window. First class, on the Madras Mail to Madras.
'Bye Estha, Godbless, Ammu's mouth had said. Ammu's trying-not-to-cry mouth.
The last time he had seen her. (17.39-42)
At 31, Rahel has grown to look strikingly like Ammu the last time Estha saw her. They have the same mouth. This moment shows us how the simplest little details have the power to trigger overwhelming memories.
