The visits are to places where Mary has appeared, and to churches that bear one of her many names, such as Our Lady of Perpetual Help, Our Lady of Sorrow, and Church of the Assumption. Along with the head notes, they inform us on the origin of the site.

She speaks as a school girl, an older woman, a love-struck boy, a stolen child, an underground revolutionary. She writes of her own family and childhood with love and sadness and a deep sense of humanity. Most charming?

It entertains the casual reader, instructs inspiring and practicing writers alike, and enriches the country's culture.\" -- Paulino Lim, Jr. Professor Emeritus, California State University \"Cecilia's style is even more spare or sparing, letting the words do the barest possible work of depicting action, description, or sequencing the events in the collected narratives...I'd call this style, which seems fairly unique to her (even when compared to that of old masters like Bulosan and Gonzalez), as scenography, to borrow a term from cinema.\" -- Oscar V.

Maria\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis collective and collaborative novel proves that writers share much more than just an interest in, as one of the authors puts it, the idea of creating something of rare beauty out of nothing at all. They share a Creative Unconscious that, when working on a common text, comes up with startling and unpredictable imaginative delights and insights. This tale of two women living a century apart (and the women and men in their lives) told sequentially by five women is truly an ensemble performance worth a standing ovation.~ Isagani R. Cruz, Philippine Star\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"Part of the pleasure of reading Angelica's Daughters, the engrossing new collaborative novel by five established Filipina writers, is seeing how deftly the authors deal with the challenge of writing in this resurrected literary form. A dugtungan is a genre of Tagalog novel popular early in the 20th century, in which each writer creates a chapter and hands it off to the next, who writes another chapter without direction. The result, in this case, is an ensemble performance that contains something of the exhilaration of theatrical improv. One watches these accomplished authors inventively weave a historical romance, creating gripping heroines and turns of plot, crossing decades and national boundaries, tapping into cultural roots of the Philippines, Spain and America.

Cecilia Manguerra Brainard’s novel is full and complex, overflowing with textured, fully realized characters who drive the story on every page.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eInes Maceda, the “newspaper widow,” aims to clear her son’s name. He has been accused of murdering a priest. In addition, Ines grieves for her deceased husband and combats the lingering trauma of earlier miscarriages. Her development is one of the shining elements of the novel—she feels tangible, rooted in the story and the setting.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe Newspaper Widow offers a nuanced glance into Filipino society circa 1908. It is a world rich with history, myth, and ritual; descriptions pulse with life, providing crucial insights into aspects of Filipino culture and world colonial history, such as encounters with the “Island of the Living Dead,” sectioned off to contain those inflicted with leprosy, and once the world’s largest leper colony.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWhile on the surface the book is a crime story, the plot is actually layered and unique. One of the novel’s greatest strengths is how it raises interesting, complicated questions about morality and justice while Ines searches for the priest’s true killer: Is death ever an apt punishment for a crime? Is revenge moral, or even necessary?\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eRefreshingly, nothing is black and white.\u003cbr\u003eFor all of The Newspaper Widow’s greatness, sometimes there are too many layers to the plot, and the ending falls a bit flat in comparison to the rest of the narrative.

Kirkus Review describes the novel as \"a fast-paced, sensitively written first novel about the psychological damage war wreaks, seen through the eyes of an intelligent, resilient young girl. During WWII, as Japanese forces invade her native city of Ubec in the Philippines, nine-year-old Yvonne Macaraig escapes with her father and mother into the mountains, where they stay in villages whose inhabitants are fighting the Japanese … The author, herself born in the Philippines, skillfully interweaves realistic events with myths of women fighters and goddesses, as well as fantastic dreams … Brainard’s appealing characters are larger-than-life people who change before our eyes, yet remain utterly convincing.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eA Philippine import.
