“A fast-paced thriller of a story combining history with heartbreak, Rina Ayuyang’s graphic novel mixes Manong lore with an individual’s dreams.”

—Gina Apostol, author of Insurrecto

“Ayuyang’s visuals are wonderfully musical, lilting across the pages with energy and movement… Readers will be swept off their feet by this irresistible bildungsroman.”

—Publishers Weekly Starred Review

“Beautifully illustrated in styles as varied as the topics of (Rina’s) stories, her debut graphic novel is a charming assortment of meditations on family, culture, and city living.”
