"Mia Alvar's ... debut gives us a vivid ... picture of the Filipino diaspora: exiles and emigrants and wanderers uprooting their families to begin new lives in the Middle East and America--and, sometimes, turning back"--
Reviews with the most likes.
Alvar writes short stories that feel like novels. I came away from the book with insight about the lives of Filipino expats, the experience of living under journalistic persecution, and much more.
