Hello everybody.
And with a gloomy look on his face, he’d roll over, and his mother
would be left facing his back. Brows knit with worry, his mother wanted
to ask him why, but instead, after a moment, she would quietly stand up
and leave.
Would you please tell me what the bold part means? Does it mean he turned and lay flat with his face onto the pillow or he turned and his back was in front of his mother?
Thanks ??
Jamal 1315 Would you please tell me what the bold part means? Good question. I guess to roll over is to change your lying position by 180 degrees around the long axis of your body.

Good question. I guess to roll over is to change your lying position by 180 degrees around the long axis of your body. If you start on your face, you end up on your back. Here, I picture him lying facing his mother and then rolling onto his other side so as to be facing away from her.
