Why did she say it was familiar and yet it was unfamiliar?
Dear student,
Please find below the solution to the asked query:
The narrator had gone back to see the things that had belonged to her mother, her family but were now in possession of Mrs Dorling. Mrs. S, the narrator's mother was a simple woman who trusted Mrs. Dorling blindly and left all her belongings with her believing that Mrs. Dorling would take care of her belongings as nicely as she did. She also thought that it would be easy to reclaim their belongings from Mrs. Dorling, once they would back after the war. When she saw the things, she felt she knew the things well as they had been in their house for a long time. Yet she did not know the things because they were in new surroundings now. She did not feel familiar with them at all.
Regards
