Quote #10
"My son," I said. "We adopted him, your father and I."
"You like tired and hungry," Ira said, taking his arm. "Come with me and rest, I will prepare the rice." (30.5)
Ira eases the situation of Puli’s acceptance by being her usual loving self. That Ira takes him in immediately is another mark of her incredible emotional generosity (which is actually in stark contrast to her mother’s attitude towards her). Ruku hesitated to accept Sacrabani, and even didn’t want to sign on to taking care of Puli, but Ira will unhesitatingly love all children. Her gentle love promises to be an important part of holding the family together.
