And, the woman says, she is owed.įrom that moment, Lauren loses her grip on reality. The stranger offers to trade one of her twins, hidden in “rags, a nest of grey swaddling,” for one of Lauren’s. One night, an apparition visits Lauren: a filthy woman with a black tongue who smells like a cold riverbank. The nights are the hardest, and she’s not alone. Her husband leaves her by herself in the hospital with the twins, where she struggles to breastfeed and care for the babies. She delivers two healthy twins after an unbelievably hard labor.
