Mahtab looked out of the window at the moon clearing the rooftops, bathing everything around in its silver light. She sighed, envying Nasim's freedom. For just like Mahtab's namesake, as the moonlight was beholden to the sun, she was beholden to her family.

About This Quote

Mahtab looked out of the window at the moon, and she envied Nasim's freedom. The moonlight was beholden to the sun and would always be at the service of her family and not hers. She could not enjoy it on her own, and she wished that she could be free like Nasim. Mahtab couldn't do what her namesake did, which was to work up an appetite for adventure and to grow up to be a woman of strength and independence.
