There was thia novel I read back then... Still trying to remember the title.. The plot involved a young man married to a woman but they couldn't have a child. Then he was invited to visit home and taken to visit an herbalist... At the place of the herbalist he was made to understand that until he gets married to another wife before the First wife conceive. Although he wasn't interested his mother and wife persuaded him.. The mother introduced one village girl to him and he got married to her. She was loved by the first wife.. She got pregnant and the first wife followed suit... I guess she gave birth to a girl and the first wife gave birth to a boy... The seed of jealousy started to rear its head in her heart and na so the second wife start o.. She poisoned the first wife when she couldn't help it again... Then she also Tried to kill the son.. Stopped his education.. Try to turn the father against the son... As the plot thickened she accidentally killed her three children at different points when she planned to kill the son.. and eventually ran mad.. |
