Historical Fiction
Bayan ng mga Alon
by Emilio Santiago
The year the ships changed flags, San Isidro de las Olas kept two calendars: the friars' printed one, and the one the sea wrote nightly along the shore. A nun hides the town's records in a rice jar. Twelve young men climb into the hills with two rifles. The whales come close to shore, and no proclamation mentions it. A novel of 1898 for everyone history assigned to surviving.
