Once they escape the compound, she helps her group survive in the city. When one ward begins withholding food and demanding that the women of other wards sleep with them to be fed, she kills the leader of their ward. Once inside, she attempts to help the compound organize, but she is increasingly unable to hold back the animality of the compound. At this point she is interned with the rest of the afflicted. Unable to leave her husband to be interned, she lies to the doctors and claims to be blind. This phenomenon remains unexplained in the novel. The doctor's wife is the only character in the entire novel who does not lose their sight. When they finally leave the quarantine, the group of blind internees travel to his house. Much of this authority, though, comes from the fact that his wife can see and gives him inside information into the goings ons of the quarantine. The doctor is an ophthalmologist who is stricken blind after treating a patient with "the white sickness." He is one of the first people to be quarantined and, due to his medical expertise and the fact that he and his wife were the first internees, he has a certain authority in the quarantine.

"It is a parent’s responsibility to teach their children tolerance of all people, and I have yet to find a better tool to begin that lesson than My Uncle’s Wedding."

There’s so much to do now that Uncle Mike and Steve are getting married. Life was never a bed of roses for me as our beautiful nest broke and my parents couldn’t get along together but I believed in the power of education and it gradually and eventually took me to my goals. I guess it was this promise of dad to himself that burnt like a fire in my heart. He named me Shweta and later Roma but that day he, along with my mom wrote my fate and future by his very own hands and then never shied away from quoting and re-quoting it to me. When my dad came to know of all this he picked his tiny princess in his arms and his wife and bid good bye to his family promising himself to make his daughter the talk and envy of everyone in this very town. So this was how I was welcomed on this earth. Next my paternal grand mom who was a mother to six daughters herself wanted me to be abandoned on a nearby garbage dump and wanted my dad to remarry as all possible dowry had been extracted from my mother’s parents already.

My mother did tell me how difficult it was for her after I grew up. I was born in a room in our ancestral home in a very small town of Uttar Pradesh without the aid of any doctor or a midwife. I was having my students read along to it on some days, but even with warning that it wasn't exact, it was so confusing to them that many would just stare into space while listening-which means that they miss scene directions, etc. What disappointed you about The Crucible?ĭepending on which audible/amazon screen you are on, this is labeled as "unabridged."
