In the novel Dinner at the Homesick Restaurant , by Anne Tyler, one of the characters , Jenny, learns an important lesson from her mother. This is what I was asked to write about , but I cannot find what this lesson is.

Smoothy is correct. The answer is there if you've read the book. Maybe this quote will help: "The most aching nostalgia is not for home but for home idealized."
