Chapter Summaries & Analyses
Kitty brings Sabine to Walmart, and they bond. Kitty tells Sabine about marrying Howard. They married when Kitty was only 20 years old, after he nearly died falling off a train. Kitty explains that Dot never liked Howard because he used to be a hoodlum. They also talk about Parsifal. Sabine thinks that Parsifal’s claustrophobia comes from being trapped in a refrigerator as a child, but Kitty reveals that their father locked Parsifal in the refrigerator when he was nine years old. It is a traumatic memory for Kitty. Hearing this, Sabine wonders if Parsifal and Phan connected over their past traumas. Kitty begs Sabine for a story about a time when Parsifal was happy, and Sabine tells her about the time Parsifal opened his antique rug store.
