11 - Return

(181) "I saw my world through her eyes." M in America

(184-5) H gets the letter - 9 years later - she decided to reprint to letter in the book without reflection - I liked it, actually (she reflects some afterwards, on her visit)

(185) somehow it seems her writing has matured in this chapter, most notably after the break on page 185 - thoughtful musings and small scenes and motions weave together

this is by far her best work

(194) an example of deep reflection - "I thought, desperately, selfishly, that if only she had stayed with me in the States, and had never some back to Mali, she might be alive today."

(199) now M is round, complete
