Quote #10
We stand awkwardly in the living room, Mrs. Barker glancing around. Her eyes dart back and forth. I find myself donning her restless eyes like a pair of trick glasses. She must think the house is an obstacle course. (34.14)
Even though we don't like her, Mrs. Barker is useful. Through her eyes we get to see what someone else thinks about Obasan's house. In Naomi and Obasan's eyes, her house is a place full of memories and keepsakes. In Mrs. Barker's eyes, it's just a cluttered mess. Her visit is kind of like a reality check.
