Morgan’s novelistic account of her father’s way home is riveting; it not only thrillingly conveys the danger Benjamin confronted, but also the endless resourcefulness and courage of the people of Batangas. . . the portrayal of the “uncertainties of time” that plagued the country is gripping. The plight of the Philippines following the bombing of Pearl Harbor is often neglected by writers and historians alike, and this is a welcome correction to that absence.
A captivating look at the sudden transformation of the Philippines by war.
