They denied that Zarmina wrote poetry or that her death was suicide. “It was an accident. She was trying to get warm after a bath, but the firewood was wet, so she poured petrol on it and caught herself on fire.” And no, her daughter absolutely did not like writing or reading or poetry, her mother argued. “She was a good girl, an uneducated girl.
