"Adik perempuanku, Prim, meringkuk di sisinya, berselimut tubuh ibuku, pipi mereka saling menempel. Dalam tidur, ibuku terlihat lebih muda, masih aus tetapi tidak begitu terpukul. Wajah Prim sama segar seperti tetesan air hujan, sama indahnya dengan primrose tempat dia dinamai. Ibuku juga sangat cantik sekali. Atau begitulah mereka memberitahuku."

Versi Bahasa Inggris

My little sister, Prim, curled up on her side, cocooned in my mother’s body, their cheeks pressed together. In sleep, my mother looks younger, still worn but not so beaten-down. Prim’s face is as fresh as a raindrop, as lovely as the primrose for which she was named. My mother was very beautiful once, too. Or so they tell me.
