excerpts from the backcover text:
Cecilia Manguerra Brainard has written an ambitious novel of forbidden love. Set against the turbulent history of East Asia in the twentieth century and by turns erotic and tragic, Magdalena vividly depicts three generations of strong Filipino women. (Aimee Liu)
Cecilia Manguerra Brainards's novel Magdalena takes its title from a protagonist descended from several generations of equally compelling female characters ... Brainard uses a nonlinear narrative and multiple points of view to describe the history of Philippines that roughly corresponds to its contact with the United States from the Spanish-American War to the war in Vietnam.
The novel brings into focus not only the romantic and social conflicts of different generations of women but also economic and racial divisions in the Philippines ...
Interspersed throughout the novel are archival photographs of places and people, photographs that remind the reader that while the characters are fictional, the backdrop is historical reality. (Kathleen Flanagan)

Journal Entry 4 by wingholle77wing at Selm, Nordrhein-Westfalen Germany on Monday, April 23, 2012
This was my fourth book for the Phillipines and it was the best.
Without needing a dictionnary I could read the English fluently.
The story is very interesting telling of love and hate, of the differences between being poor or being rich, of what it meant to live as a Chinese under Filipinos, of the importance of the Catholic Church and of historic circumstances.
I liked very much to read it.

Dieses Buch ist schon vor Ewigkeiten zurückgekehrt. Wurde aufgrund von Renovierungsarbeiten aber erst jetzt ausgepackt.

Wandert wieder in das Regal mit Philippinischen Autoren und kann gerne erneut ausgeliehen werden.
