Philippines: Ilustrado by Miguel Syjuco

Thoughts: The parts I liked, I liked a lot. The parts I didn’t (and there were many), I found hard to get through. I’m starting to appreciate more and more the beauty of straightforward narrative, which this book is not an example of. It’s not a bad book, but there is a lot to get through to get to the end.
