Uddrag
The short story “Your Shoes” is seen from the mother's point of view, as it is about a mother who writes down her thoughts while she unhappily waits for her daughter to come home.

The daughter is only 15 years old and ran away from home after an episode where she came home drunk, and the father called her a dirty slut.

The mother does not like the chaos that the daughter's disappearance has caused, so she would very much like her to come home again. She imagines how her daughter is feeling. Whether she has sex with men to earn money for food.

At first the mother wants to punish her daughter for being rebellious, but it quickly leads her to thin ut how her own relationship was with her mother.

The mother thinks about her own childhood andt as I said, her upbringing was a bit difficult. Her mother was uneducated, and her father was very strict.

She writes down that when she was young, they were not spoiled and that she and her husband have given the daughter everything she wanted.
