Book Review of When the Elephants Dance

When the Elephants Dance
reviewed on
Helpful Score: 7


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. :)
