Wonderful book in the spirit of Amy Tan and Lisa See. There were ghosts/spirits, superstition, fantastic stories, etc.
The author wrote the book based on first hand account of her father about what the island natives endured during the Japanese occupation of the Philippines during WWII.
It was very interesting, fast paced, and moving. I highly recommend it. :)

Read over half before I gave up on it, and I rarely give up on a book. The main story was good, would have liked more of that. The 'back' stores just got too confusing, to be honest. The mythical parts finally got too much for me.
