From page 55 of the book: "...It was a party given by Aunt Gloria, who had splurged on her nephew nothing but the best food and wine at a restaurant down in Little Italy, and nothing nearly so grand as she would have given her daughters or her son and accompanied by the bold certainty that she would never find the cause to do so: She had wished her children could have been orphaned, like the Sarjevo children, so as to give her a rest from motherhood and give them the challenge to mature with punishment, the obstacles of compassionate hearts and deficiencies like gluttony to be worked out at a later date."
