There is no touching this girl, I thought. Misfortune has hardened her, which is just as well, she will take many a knock yet. (26.50)
Ammu’s approach to suffering is essentially the exact opposite of Ruku’s. While Ruku bears her suffering with piety and an obstinate hopefulness, Ammu has decided to view the world as one big place full of people trying to take advantage of her. Still, you might not be able to blame the girl for being so harsh – Ruku always has Nathan to share the burden, while Ammu suffers alone.
