| Summary, Etc. |
- Summary, etc. - A non-fiction family "biography" spanning a quarter of a century, from 1926-1950. The family is that of the author, the Santos-Cuyugan family: her father was a medical doctor, assigned to Lucena, Tayabas (now Quezon) province in 1926. She narrates life in the province before the war, and how the author and her siblings had to adjust after living in Manila. Prior to the outbreak of war, the family moved back to Manila, where it was during the Japanese occupation. The author spends almost half of the book narrating the family's experiences during the war - living under the Japanese, listening to shortwave news, worrying about the author's brother, who joined his college classmates to go to war, and her special friend, who was part of the USAFFE. Ceres, her younger brother and mother went to Capas to look for brother Mario and friend Corban. Both survived and were released, but Ceres' uncle and his family in Mindanao were massacred. Brief on the liberation and even briefer on the postwar years. The author's friend and classmate from the University of the Philippines later became her husband (Corban L. Alabado) and wrote his own memoirs. - Prof. Ricardo T. Jose
