DNA Quote: Digging to America by Anne Tyler
by Dr. Hsien-Hsien Lei
Posted November 30, 2007 in DNA Quotes and Excerpts
She said, “When I was a girl, how I hated it all! At any of the family parties, I’d be sitting where you are this minute.”
She wondered if there was a gene for that - for holding oneself back, resisting the communal merriment. It had never before occurred to her that she had passed this trait on to Sami.
