This is the author's first novel.
" ...Song of Yvonne developed when I tuned in to the collective "wounding" that Filipinos experienced in that War. The book is fiction, it is not a historical document. As a matter of fact, it has fanciful elements. But the novel is my way of documenting the triumph of the Filipino spirit over foreign oppression". - Excerpts from the Preface.
The author was born after World War ll and the stories and anecdotes that she heard about the Japanese Occupation of the Philippines found their way into this book. In short, she lived through that terrible War through Yvonne.
A Philippine import. Autographed copies are available but in limited number.
