The central concept is the protagonist's mother, and the map branches out into different aspects of her life and relationships.

On the left side, we have concepts related to the mother's past, including her marriage to the protagonist's father, her relationship with her mother-in-law, and her experiences with domestic violence. These concepts are linked together with the linking words "marriage," "conflict," and "abuse."

On the right side, we have concepts related to the mother's present, including her relationship with her daughter (the protagonist), her job as a hotel cleaner, and her declining health. These concepts are linked together with the linking words "love," "work," and "health."

At the bottom, we have the concept of "voice," which represents the mother's struggle to express herself and make her own choices in life. This concept is linked to both sides of the map, as it is connected to the mother's past and present experiences and relationships.

Overall, this concept map highlights the interconnectedness of the different aspects of the mother's life and the central role that her voice and agency play in the story.
