Mothers' Silent Tears
Description:... London Book Review: Mothers’ Silent Tears
Rory. K. Galea, an Irish writer, recently won a national story prize for a touching story of mother’s love. His story centered on a mother’s search for her abducted daughter.
Her daughter, Yvette, was traded like chattel, displayed as freak, and compromised.
Imagine a haunted childhood, filled with longing, for missed home, and her vaguely remembered family or absence of freedom to be her true self or live her purpose.
Neither could her mother, Yeye Osun, who didn’t give up the search for her child.
Her loss was profitable gain to others, even Xanderina Regina, a paranoid sovereign, and mother, who may have to stop her son, Kessington, marrying Yvette, Yemoja, a mermaid being.
Is this the story about struggles of a mermaid on the soil of a burgeoning empire or the silent tears of two mothers?
