Summary



The Address’ is a short story highlighting human predicament
that follows war. The story beautifully delineates the pain, anguish, and
mental torture of the survivors of war. The narrator, Margo Minco, a Jew,
returned back to her native city after the War was over. She had already
suffered many losses, including the irreparable loss of her dear mother. After
the war, she faced the loneliness and challenges alone. She went to Mrs.
Dorling to get her mother’s cutlery, crockery, utensils, and other household
things; Mrs. Dorling’s cold, indifferent and discouraging behavior further
depressed her. She refused to recognize her and asked her to come again.



Hurt and anguished, she went back. After some days she again
called on Mrs. Dorling; fortunately, she was not at home; her daughter received
her and asked her to come inside the house. The narrator was shocked to see the
room s full of things belonging to her mother. The Hanukkah, table-cloth,
antique plates, cutlery, crockery, etc. brought back old memories of her
mother.



She remembered the days before the war; once she had come to
stay at home from school; at that time her mother had confided to her that Mrs.
Dorling was taking the valuable household things to keep them safely in case
they had to run away during the war. It was at that time narrator’s mother had
given her the address of Mrs. Dorling so that she could collect the things from
her.



Sitting inside Mrs. Dorling’s house she suddenly made up her
mind to forget the things belonging to her mother. She thought her mother’s
things had no significance for her as the mother had died during the war.  Finally she decided to leave her mother’s
things and forget them forever.
