I was also going to ask what inspired the mystical theme of your work? Do you believe that there are forces guiding human choices?

Book Tour: Umari Ayim’s Guardian of the Fall
I agree this is an issue, and one of the reasons why I like the fact that you explored this subject is the problem of identity crises that these characters eventually had to deal with. Somehow, because of the influence of their parents, all of them struggled with who they truly were and who they were expected to be. On the flip side though, we see how especially with Erom and Ken, the influence or wisdom of their parents helped them to find their true identity. Erom’s mother tells her that “there will be questions in life that will never be answered” and that she will find her “answers one day just as i found mine”. I found this interesting, you seemed to want to strike a balance in accepting parental guidance.

Hello Umari, thank you for joining us today. I thoroughly enjoyed your book. I think i’d like to start with the first thing that struck me about it. it’s the pressure on Ken to marry. We don’t see a lot of this, especially with young men, the African culture particularly puts pressure on women to marry and procreate, but here we see Ken in exactly the same shoes. Erom on the other hand, has no pressure whatsoever from her parents to marry. Was this a deliberate upsetting of the stereotype?
