By Julie Omeike

Iye {Mother} is an interesting cultural novel.

It is an African piece of art that depicts family way of life from earlier years as far back as the fifties and sixties.

A noble distinct family stands against all odds to protect matrimony and family focus on a one man, one wife personality even with delays of childbirth.

The chapter begins with the celebration of the long awaited child. Ivie meaning precious loses dad at her growing years and battles with career, love and family inheritance.
