Intensely personal and detailed, she brings pre-war days to life and shows how people lived in those years.
She has three short chapters on the outbreak of the war and the Japanese occupation, and ends her memoir with the destruction and death wrought by the Battle for Manila. Her husband of three years was executed by the Japanese, together with her father; the ancestral home of the Guerreros was destroyed by an American bomb inadvertently dropped on it.
The pain of recounting the war is still evident, and it was only with much courage that she brought herself to remember those tragic days. - Prof. Ricardo T. Jose
