 What didn't surprise Matilda about Haron's house?
The name—Haron Gorka: its oddness was somehow beautiful to Matilda.

As far us the gentry of Cedar Falls was concerned, Haron Gorka did not exist. Cedar Falls had what might be called a microscopic library, and Matilda thought that if this small building were filled with microfilm rather than books, the library still would be lacking.
