“I loved my dish towel. This one was two-toned, and had, on one side, stitchings of fat purple roses on a lavender background, and on the other side, fat lavender roses on a purple background. Which side to use? An optical-illusion namesake with which I could dry our dishes. It was soft and worn and smelled like no-nonsense laundry detergent.” PurpleRosesLavenderBackgroundOptical IllusionRose EdelsteinDish TowelTwo Toned Book:The Particular Sadness of Lemon Cake Source: The Particular Sadness of Lemon Cake
