18 ottob 1960 anni - Ruth May's maleria pills

Descrizione:

Orleanna finds out that Ruth May has not been taking her pills to prevent malaria, but that she has been sticking them underneath the bed and to the wall. "Her malaria pills,'Mother said, and she was right. There must have been a hundred of them, all partly melted and stuck in long crooked rows behind where the bed had been" (Kingsolver 267).
