Quote by Curtis Sittenfeld
There was a way in which my grandmother's true self was not these guests' business; no one's true self was the business of more than a very small number of family members or close friends.
Summary
This quote highlights the idea that one's true self is not meant to be of concern or accessible to most people, including guests or acquaintances. The speaker's grandmother appears to have a private and personal side that is only exposed to a select few individuals whom she deeply trusts, such as close family members or friends. It implies that there are boundaries and limitations to how much of oneself should be shared or exposed to the outside world.
