Many novels have explored the dominant mother figure but none as poignantly and as realistically as Austregelina Epina-Moore's Ang Inahan ni Mila. In this heartbreaking story, we meet the tormented family: Teresa--a beautiful woman, divorced wife, dominating mother, who hopes to secure all the privileges that she has been deprived of, through her daughter; Mila--the self-assured daughter who evades her mother's schemes by standing her ground; Ken--the husband and father who eventually leaves home after Mila settles down. Teresa escapes to Rena to deal with her divorce while resolving the unhappy events that shaped her life. Through Teresa's experiences, Ang Inahan ni Mila examines the estrangement of family members and friends, inestricably bound for generations into a resonant and diverse social fabric.
A Philippine import. Limited copies avalaible.
