“In the morning she unpacked her trunk. There was a narrow closet behind the door, with just four shelves, and Vijaya was glad she packed very little, few clothes, almost no jewelry. From among all the jewelry she owned, the only piece she'd bought with her was a thin chain, hung with a heavy gold pendant the shape and size of a ripe kumquat.”
― Ruthvika Rao, The Fertile Earth: A Novel
