Summary: Harper's Agueda draws the curtains on a world today's Filipino have only read about but never saw. The author combines a historian's grasp of design and detail with a fictionist's sense of the dramatic and uses the narrator's eyes and voice to return us to one of the most important cusps in our nation's history-the transition from Spanish to American colonial rule, with Agueda embodying the Filipino held at once in terror and in thrall by her masters until she comes into her own. This is a fascinating novel of discovery, and just like our history, it remains, in the end, far from finished, awaiting its nest installment.-Jose Dalisay, Author, Killing Time a Warm Place and Soledad's Sister, Director, UP Institute of Creative Writing
