Jhumpa Lahiri Quotes

My Wife's Name Was Mala. The Marriage Had Been Arranged By My Older Brother And His Wife. I Regarded The Proposition With Neither Objection Nor Enthusiasm. It Was A Duty Expected Of Me, As It Was Expected Of Every Man. She Was The Daughter Of A Schoolteacher In Beleghata. I Was Told That She Could Cook, Knit, Embroider, Sketch Landscapes, And Recite Poems By Tagore, But These Talents Could Not Make Up For The Fact That She Did Not Possess A Fair Complexion, And So A String Of Men Had Rejected Her To Her Face. She Was Twenty-seven, An Age When Her Parents Had Begun To Fear That She Would Never Marry, And So They Were Willing To Ship Their Only Child Halfway Across The World In Order To Save Her From Spinsterhood.
