Verdict: carrot
The day Boy Novak runs off from her brutal father, a Lower East Side rat catcher, is the day she falls on the best luck of her 20 years.
Seizing the last bus of the night, she lands haphazardly in Flax Hill, New England, where she follows two women through the snow to their boarding house simply because she overhears the word “landlady”. The women of this “prim, skinny” redbrick welcome her with soup and speculation; she has found a new home, though she still dreams of rats and is occasionally caught seemingly admiring herself in reflective surfaces.
