Description
One woman's reluctant trek through a forest of ghosts and the aftermath of empire in modern Philippine life.

Yñiga Calinauan leads an ordinary life in Manila--until the day a retired army general wanted for the murder of peasants is captured across the street from her house. Days later, her unassuming neighborhood is burned to the ground in what some whisper is retaliation. With nowhere else to go, she returns with beloved cat Jestoni to M--, the small fishing village of her childhood and her best chance at regaining the quiet life she lost. But the terror Yñiga thought she escaped in the city still stalks her, forcing her and Jestoni into the nearby forest of both trees and trauma that has long haunted her family. For Yñiga, there is no escape, only resistance.

Inspired by the state-sponsored killings under Gloria Macapagal Arroyo, Glenn Diaz uses keen political acumen and masterful storytelling to explore familial resistance and the devastating weight of its legacy.
