5.0 out of 5 stars
A young Filipina's view of life under the Japanese.,
By A Customer
This review is from: Song of Yvonne (Paperback)
This book later became "When the Rainbow Goddess Wept". It
is similar to Amy Tan's books; however, it was published
earlier and is from the Filipino point of view.
This enjoyable book is a fictionalized account of a young
Filipina (Yvonne) telling of her experiences just before
and during the trying times of the Japanese occupation of
the Philippines. By writing in the past from the mind of
a child, the author creates a floating, dream-like clarity
that captures something of the uniqueness and charm of
Filipino culture and spirit.
