| Summary, Etc. |
- Summary, etc. - "In this, her third collection of short stories, Cecilia Manguerra Brainard shows an uncanny talent for speaking in varied voices that bridge time and place: she is at home in Vigan, the mythical Ubec (Cebu), Sagada, Manila, Cuzco, Peru, Calcutta, Chartres, California, bringing each location alive with loving detail. She speaks as a school girl, an older woman a love-struck boy, a stolen child, an underground revolutionary. She writes her own family and childhood with love and sadness and a deep sense of humanity. Most charming? 'Remembering Che Guevara', which starts out with 'I was nineteen when I met Che Guevara.'" - Susan Evangelista
