Julkalendern #4

For at full day, I didn't know. I hadn't been home for seven months, and that afternoon - this is one of my regrets - I'd called to wish my parents a Merry Christmas when I knew my mother would still be asleep. This was after the big meal at Ben's family's house in Indianapolis; I'd been using the phone in the kitchen, and when I'd hung up I'd experienced a gut-wrenching sadness that I had mistaken for run-of-the-mill holiday sorrow. On the other side of the kitchen's swinging door was Ben's extended family: little kids hopped up on sweets playing with new toys while the adults watched football and lamented having overeaten. [...]
"I'm so sorry, Daze."
"What happened?" I said.
"Oh, shit, I thought Vi reached you," he said. "Your mom died." I almost thought he was kidding, but then he began to sob.
 Ytterligare en deppig julscen! Men vad heter boken om de klärvoajanta systrarna?

Vilken deppjul – passar mig perfekt. Systrarna beskrivs i boken 'Sisterland'.

Herregud! Måste sluta göra detta på min arbetstid. Det är i alla fall Sisterland av Curtis Sittenfeld säger Google efter ett antal försök!
