Shadow
of the
living mountain
A quasi-autobiographical story that recounts conversations about the deeper significance held by names. Told under the shadow of Mt. Asog, this is a tale of the troubled relationship between a mother and daughter and a young woman’s yearning for parental love and support.

"Tales of the sunken town"
from Online Book Club
The end direction the story took was surprising
"Tales of the sunken town" was hard to grapple with at first, but it was worth reading. My favorite story was "born of fire". The end direction the story took was surprising.
So, I went back and reread the story a few times to savor every detail hidden on the pages. "The tale of the Two Phoenixes" was filled with so much hidden information.
"This ritual was their first and maybe not the last that they would witness in the crater, for in the land born of fire, white stones are still forced to hide." -this was my most favorite quote from the book as it speaks volumes in just a few words.
Milagros's character was the one that shocked me most because I had not expected her homophobia. I also learned many things like 1754's Great Eruption of the Philippines, mirror-touch synesthesia, congenital insensitivity to pain, the efforts of the LAKAS in the time of a natural disaster, mail order bride system, etc.
Wow! I never knew I could learn history like this! The skill of combining real details about the Philippines in hauntingly beautiful stories was amazing.
