Sommario/riassunto

?I felt like an alien who fell down to earth, not understanding the rules of the game, making all the possible mistakes, saying all the wrong things.?  ?Your whole life is in the hands of other people who do not always mean well and there is nothing you can do about it. They can decide to send you away and you have no control.?  ?The moment I enter the house, I shelve my American self and become the 'little obedient wife' that my husband wants me to be.?  ?The most difficult part is to find myself again. At the beginning I lost myself.?  T
