Potter's Thumb

NOTE: THIS IS a DOWNLOADABLE E-BOOK. Up-stairs on the roof, the connection between Azizan's tears and Zainub's sciatica would have seemed far-fetched, obscure; down-stairs, however, it was self-evident, clear as daylight. Briefly, Aziz had the evil eye, like her grand- father the potter, and she was using it, as her mother had used it. Sixteen years before, after nursing that mother in the damp dungeon, where useless cries could be deadened, Zainub had nearly died of rheumatic fever. Not from the damp, of course; simply from the evil eye.Steel, Flora Annie Webster is the author of 'Potter's Thumb', published 2004 under ISBN 9781419278372 and ISBN 1419278371.
