Rose of Numen
by Olatunde, Biola;
Ife is no longer a young girl, but a woman living in the city, practicing medicine. She still channels, however, the spirit of Numen Yeye, a princess from the Kingdom of Light. While Ife's life is professionally fulfilling, she is suffering from her transitional state - her ties back to her village and her family, the reconciliation between her spiritual and earthly forms, and her very special connection with Babatunde, her soul-mate. Rose of Numen continues Ife's journey through the ancient rhythms of traditional Nigerian culture, and the impact of the modern world. Ife has come to terms with being Numen; her preoccupation now is how to effectively use the knowledge. Enter this spiritual fantasy, interlaced with Biola Olatunde's unique idiom tied so closely to her homeland.
