Check AvailabilityLiving in the countryside with her grandmother, the narrator is around adults more often than her peers. She realizes how foolish and false the words and actions of adults are, and she loses interest in the world. Watching the adults around her grandmother make a false show of power, the narrator decides that she doesn't want to become an adult, but at the same time realizes why they have no choice but to live that way. Watching the women of the village who are faced with painful difficulties yet struggling to laugh even a little more, as well as the villagers who blab other people’s secrets, the narrator learns the logic of the world and become disillusioned with the world.
