Meet Me Under the Ombu Tree
“Paco had spoken to Antoine who had explained that she had left without revealing where she was going to stay. Sofia hadn’t wanted them to know where she was, not even which country she was in, but Antoine considered the whole thing wholly out of proportion. So he told Paco that she had simply said she wanted to lay her roots down in London.
Anna was devastated that Sofia had not gone to school in Lausanne as planned and desperately wanted to contact her daughter to beg her to come home. She... worried that Sofia might decide never to return. Had she been too harsh? She told herself that the child had needed discipline - that’s what parents were for. What had she expected, a mere pat on the wrist? ‘Don’t do it again, dear.’ No, she had deserved every bit of it. Surely she understood that. But it was all behind her now, it was in the past. Dominique had assured her that Sofia had ‘dealt with her problem’. How could the child hold a grudge for so long? It had all been for the best.MoreLess
