Elaine Castillo is a debut author who already has a distinctive voice, writing with force and clarity, drawing a fully realized, complicated world of Filipino immigrants in the San Jose area in the early 1990s. I absolutely loved this book, from the first sentence to the very end. Overall this is a great story, filled with complex emotions, incredible writing, and characters that truly stay with you.
Everything about this book resonates, from the tangled connections of families and relationships to the multiple phrases in untranslated Tagalog, Ilocano and Pangasinense.
