Ma

"...she sometimes turns out phrases like that; they sound like the high, pretty trill of a bird, perfect and light."

When I read this quote, I started thinking about Ma's life. Before in the book, it said that she was really sad to come to the US, and that when she got her it was really hard for her. It makes me wonder what kind of a life she came from before she married Abba. She obviously was better off before, because she can talk english in pretty phrases like the one above.
