Ms. Tia’s mother lives in Port Harcourt and is terminally ill for the entirety of the novel. Ms. Tia leaves Lagos on several occasions to care for her sick mother. They have a rather strained relationship, as Ms. Tia’s mother was harsh and controlling of Ms. Tia as a child. This tension is one of the factors that initially made Ms. Tia decide not to have children. Ms. Tia’s mother’s illness softens her personality, though, and Ms. Tia begins to wish that she had a baby to bring with her when she visits her mother, so that her mother would have something to live for.
