Über diesen Titel
A young woman pieces together her troubled past in this story of rebellion and romance set in the Marcos-era Philippines. Soon after she leaves home for university in Manila, Soledad, Soliman (Sol) transforms herself from bookish rich girl to communist rebel. But is her allegiance to the principles of Mao or to Jed, the comrade she’s in love with? Can she really be a part of the movement or is she just a “useful fool,” a spoiled brat playing at revolution?
Far from the Philippines, in a mansion overlooking the Hudson River, Sol confesses her youthful indiscretions, unable to get past the fatal act of communist fervor that locked her memory in an endless loop.
Rich with wordplay and unforgettable imagery, Gun Dealers’ Daughter combines the momentum of an amnesiac thriller with the intellectual delights of a Borgesian puzzle. In her American debut, award-winning author Gina Apostol delivers a riveting novel that illuminates the conflicted and little-known history of the Philippines, a country deeply entwined with our own.
©2012 Gina Apostol, Copyright 2010 by Anvil Publishing, Inc., and Gina Apostol (P)2013 Audible, Inc.But the narrator- empathic but incapable of pronouncing any Filipino (even Spanish) proper names. Place names and even simple first names (let’s not go to surnames)- butchered. It’s a pity. It’s odd as the story is set inThe Philippines and of course with Filipino characters (and the Filipino language is rather phonetic). Really odd.
Good book but odd narration
