Sophie Davidson Post #2
Uncle Husband is a very persuasive, manipulating and controlling man. After Lakshmi arrives with Auntie, she sees already that Uncle Husband can control Auntie by physical abuse. After, he tells her that she needs to call him husband in order to protect her which we all know as readers is complete BS. " 'The border is a very dangerous place,' he says. 'There are bad men who might harm you, or try to take you away from me and auntie.'" This goes to show how awful he was without her even realizing it. She just thought he was protecting her, that he was doing a noble deed. When in fact, it was the complete opposite.

ReplyDeleteI couldn't agree more Sophie. The way Uncle Husband spoke gave me the chills. Lakshmi was completely oblivious of the way he was lying and manipulating her. I thought that McCormick did a great job by writing this part in a way that made you feel that Lakshmi was safe but you also wanted to get her away from him and his skeevy personality. Glad to know someone had the same opinion! xx -Carly Fitzgerald
