The House by the Beach: A Novel
In stock
The House by the Beach is a historical novel that follows one family from Cuyo Island, Palawan, during the final years of Spanish rule to the aftermath of World War II. It offers a glimpse into the changing tides of Philippine history, told through generations of struggles and choices that shape an entire family’s fate.
At its center is Carlos, a charming but destructive man whose choices leave a quiet trail of broken lives. His wife, his mistress, and, most of all, his children are left to carry the burden of the consequences of his desires. Among them is Lupe, his daughter, who tries to pick up the pieces by writing her family’s story—to make sense of a man who shaped her life with as much absence as presence.
Blending fiction with truth, The House by the Beach is an intimate portrait of a family’s love, sacrifice, and enduring struggle to make sense of the past they carry.
