Summary
Anna is in her early forties, a teacher and unhappily married. Her one regret in life is that she doesn't have any children. When 15-year-old Kali arrives in her form, Anna feels a special connection with her at once. But as their lives become more closely enmeshed, it becomes clear that Kali doesn't see her role in quite the same way.
Summary
Anna's personal life is in crisis. Her marriage is struggling, and the disastrous affair she began as consolation has now become a millstone around her neck. The place where she feels most secure is the safe and ordered world of the classroom; as a teacher she happily follows the rules, works hard and gets results.
