Book Title: The Memory Keeper's Daughter by Kim Edwards
[1]She tried on and discarded three different outfits, skirts that bound her waist, pants that strained across the hips. [2]She had had always been petite, slender and well-proportioned, and the ungainliness of her body amazed and depressed her. [3]Finally, in despair, she ended up in her old denim maternity jumper, gratifyingly loose, which she had sworn she'd never wear again. [4]Dressed but bare foot, she wandered through the house, room to room. [5]Like her body, the rooms were spilling over, wild, chaotic, out of control. [6]Soft dust had gathered everywhere, clothes were scattered on every surface, and covers spilled from the unmade beds. [7]There was a clean trail in the dust on the dresser, where David had placed a vase of daffodils, brown already at the edges, the windows were cloudy too.
7 sentences. Weird.
