The Moon Child

Synopsis

"In a flowing and mesmeric style, Mr. Roces paints a magical landscape in the lyrical language of "twilight dreams," through which, in search of love, his characters move, entangled in a web of destiny that extends from aeons past to the present, from celestial time to earthly time, from the revolution of the heavenly spheres to the nipa huts of Malana, the "garden of love." Mr. Roces's presentation reveals the presence of a real voice, a rarity in contemporary literature." -- Reviewed by Pat H. Fredeman, author of "Paradise Regained."
