the second novel of Filipino author

Interpretation of the Work
• The novel is situated precisely in a time which
Filipinos and those who have experienced
emigration, whether personal or through the
exodus of their family members, can relate to. It
shows the abuses suffered by Filipino migrant
workers in foreign countries, and the abuses that
they are again subjected to in their home country.
