Too short and too sweet. That says it all.
Yetunde: An Ode to My Mother is a narration of the natural interaction between a nine-month old baby, Yetunde, and her mother. It doesn't follow an orderly plot, but rather highlights the poignant moments- the sadness, kisses, tears, smiles, hugs and cuddles. It draws the reader into the peculiar world of a baby who understands all around her but cannot speak as yet. What makes it beautiful is the evident love between mother and child and the so many way ...more
