Hanaw: A Novel by Ana Margarita R. Nunez
In stock
Katrina Ballesteros de los Dolores is in her thirties, single, and stuck in a dead-end teaching job. An opportunity to work abroad and see the world seems like the answer, but it also means leaving her hometown of Iligan and what it stands for.
Two and a half centuries in the past, her Spanish ancestor Geronimo leaves home too—he runs afoul of fate, seeking his fortune in the Philippines and finding himself in the thick of the colonial wars in a distant presidio of Mindanao. His descendant, Josefina, is also fated to suffer in World War II, where she must wage a different kind of battle under the Japanese occupation.
As Katrina decides between the familiar and the unfamiliar, she must deal with the resonance of the choices made by those who came before her, caught between the contingencies of love and war and mourning for what has disappeared—ang nahanaw—even as she becomes someone who has the awareness of what can be saved—naa'y hanaw.
