This first volume of a 3-part series is both an autobiography and a memoir of old pre-war Ermita. It covers the period between 1922, the start of what Nick Joaquin called Manila's "most glittering decade" and 1945, the destruction of Manila. The gentility of pre-war Ermita makes for dramatic contrast to the brutality of the battle that destroyed it. Using flashbacks and fast-forwards, Mrs. Nakpil provides historical background and foreground to the highly personal account of her early years and family history. This book also describes the cultural frame, the manners, and morals, gossip and intrigue of a small Filipino town on Manila Bay during the first half of the 20th century and it does so with humor and also sorrow over its tragedy.
