Sold Chapter 40 Summary

A Second Look

  • Auntie—the city woman—and Lakshmi leave the store, and Lakshmi sees Krishna, the boy to whom she was promised.
  • Though Lakshmi wants to tell him where she is going, Auntie says that she shouldn't look back.
  • Lakshmi obeys, but when they reach the edge of her village, she looks back one last time.
