Description
Amour maternal is a tale of a girl-child, born with a silver spoon but the maternal love she deserved was sold out by her mother in exchange for material things. In the same vein, her mother imposes here choice of career on her, but this does not go down well with her. She is a lonely child forgotten by her mother who hides behind a face of smile and pulled down by the universal tide. She lives without love, all alone in the cold, huddling in the corner with no comforting ear and distanced from people and lost in the desert. This interesting piece is loaded with morals and lessons not just for mothers and guardians but for every other person alive.
