It is a small masterpiece on the politics of class, education, and immigration.
The novel begins with a stunning prologue, fiery and alive, about a woman named Paz. This one takes on themes of queer love and desire, toxic dynamics in upper-class families, and presents the possibility of salvation within the extended lines of those families. It comes in at around 400 pages and is what would typically be described as a “family saga”.
Elaine Castillo’s debut novel is a sprawling, big-hearted love letter to Filipino people, culture, and history.
