Foreign and Domestic--Sotto voce






In college, they didn't teach me how to make a house a "home." Or how to get a grumpy baby to go to sleep. Or how to make the perfect French toast. Or how to get my husband to love me. So I'm just winging it. That was four years of saving for college, and four years of going to college, just to wing it. Sotto voce references to Antigone, Medea, Jane Eyre, Catherine Linton, Estella, or even Tess of the D'urbervilles can't help me now.
