| Summary, Etc. |
- Summary, etc. - Creative fiction work telling the story of Jeanette West, an American born in Manila in 1927. Her father occupied a high position in the Philippine Commonwealth's Bureau of Science and had taught at the University of the Philippines; her mother had been a teacher at Philippine Normal College. The family was interned by the Japanese during the Japanese occupation; the three were in Santo Tomas for three full years. This part biographical story (with several names fictionalized, and an imaginary estate on Luzon) follows her years growing up in the Philippines, the internment in Santo Tomas, the liberation and repatriation to the US. The remaining two thirds of the book deal with her adjustment to a new life in the US, marriage, and the discovery of cancer in the 1980s. He writes of her struggle to overcome the disease, seeking various remedies, only to succumb in the end. Jeanette and the author - Jeanette's husband - believed that the cancer came as result of stress caused by internment during the war, one of the deeper side effects of the war. - Prof. Ricardo T. Jose
