- Basic plot
- A nun ('sister') drops off a baby who was
abandoned at birth for being female. A family
from the USA have adopted her and have
arrived at the airport to meet her for the first
time.
- However this is when it starts to get ambiguous...
- The baby 'grows up on video tapes' is put in front of
the TV or revisits her life when older on tape. She is
'passed from woman to woman' either being put into
care again or is looked after by different
family/friends.
- The ending, she 'returns to twilight corners'
- She visits Kerala and
discovers her past- how
women abandon their
children
- Or she visits Kerala and
becomes like her own
mother and is know
abandoning her own daughter

cyclical and ends with

- The authors message
- The author is clearly against abandoning children
- Through the narrator (who
appears jealous of the babies
attention from her mother) she
shows how we all take family
life for granted
- She uses
modern-ish items to
depict how this is
not an issue the
world has overcome
'video' and 'airports' even
though the idea of
abandoning your
child seems very
primitive
