Read the excerpt from "daughter of invention".

but laura had gotten used to the life here. she did not want to go back to the old country where, de la torre or not, she was only a wife and a mother (and a failed one at that, since she had never provided the required son). better an independent nobody than a high-class houseslave. she did not come straight out and disagree with her husband's plans. instead, she fussed with him about reading the papers in bed, soiling their sheets with those poorly printed, foreign tabloids. "the times is not that bad! " she'd claim if her husband tried to humor her by saying they shared the same dirty habit.
