Ireti” begins to mean more than just a name. The title becomes closely connected to the idea of hope that runs beneath the many painful experiences in the story.

Their stories do not all lead to happy endings, and this is perhaps what makes the novel particularly sad. Hope exists in Ireti, but it is not presented as something guaranteed to everyone.
