No Letters Back

«She told Bel about the singing tree and the three millions of stars in Aruwa, and she wrote messy, doleful letters home that she never sent because there was a shame in her unhappiness. In return, she received no letters back. Nne-Nne had never written a letter in her life, and Baba, ida assumed, had nothing to say to her.»
