One Crazy Summer Chapter 23 Summary

Movable Type

  • When Delphine comes into the kitchen to cook dinner, she finds a stool by the stove. A nice gesture from Cecile… who would've thought?
  • Delphine sees this as an invitation to stay and hang.
  • As long as she doesn't say or want anything, Delphine and Cecile get along just fine.
  • Apparently that's how you get to be with Cecile: Act as if you don't exist, and you're in.
  • But then Cecile offers to let Delphine help her with her printing press.
  • This means that Delphine gets to read one of Nzila's poems, plus she and her mom are actually doing something together. So many firsts.
  • Cecile teaches Delphine how to crank the press.
  • It's not all warm and fuzzy, though: Cecile takes a look at Delphine's attempt at printing and calls it a waste of paper. Oh, snap.
