| Summary, Etc. |
- Summary, etc. - Gladys Slaughter was an American lady who studied in Paris where she fell in love and married a Frenchman. The two went to Venezuela for husband Andre Savary's contract, but had to leave; they wound up in the Philippines, first in Culion where her husband put up an electric plant for the leper colony; then to Manila, opening a French restaurant. Her husband was called to military service in French Indo-China, but Gladys stayed on in Manila to run the restaurant. Savary kept a diary, which she quotes from extensively. Being married to a Frenchman, she was not interned with the American and allied nationals, but was allowed to stay "outside the walls." This book is an interesting chronicle of the Japanese occupation from a different perspective, an American woman married to a Frenchman. She describes conditions in Manila, persons she was in contact with, daily life, coping with the new order (she was suspected of aiding guerrillas and was brought to Fort Santiago for questioning three times), the air raids and liberation (in Pasay). A casualty of the war was her restaurant, which was burned down by the Japanese. - Prof. Ricardo T. Jose
