Ang Huling Tag-araw

by Lakambini Reyes

Ligaya comes home to sign the papers — nothing else, she tells the bus, the town, herself. But the blue gate still catches on the second push, the sea still keeps its appointment with the shore, and in a drawer upstairs her mother's letters have been holding their breath for eleven years. A luminous novel about the last summer a house is yours, and everything a family never said out loud.
