Im now about 35% into the book...Malot, im getting the same feeling as you....reading this is like strolling down memory lane...it sounds a lot like the stories my mom and dad told me about the war when they were kids. I thoroughly enjoyed Carlito and Esmeralda's story, as well as Roman's story with Mang Minno --it read like a mythical / biblical coming of age story. Now will keep on reading... :)

Knowing the author's source of inspiration for the book title, meron na agad akong napansin pero baka mali din ako... hehe :idea:

Tama. Si sister Mildred nga. Quite intriguing ang book na ito. Feeling ko tuloy parang chismosa ako habang inaalam story ni Esmeralda. Hahhaha
