Maggie's Garret

Grayscale illustration of an attic room with a large window. A spinning wheel rests on the floor and a potted plant sits on a table to the left.

Maggie retreats to the unfinished storage attic in their home to be alone after she and Tom have quarreled. She releases her frustration by hammering nails into the head of a doll, her "fetish". (Book 1, Chapters 4 & 5)
