From the starred Booklist review: “Entwined and exquisite like a taut braid, the narrative expertly weaves the lives of these fathers and sons into a powerful family drama centered on one family's Filipino American experience…Whether depicting the anomie of the recent pandemic, the activism-charged atmosphere of the 1960s, or the tough lives of farm laborers enduring exploitation for a dream of prosperity, Ribay vividly and honestly brings these settings to life so the reader can better understand how the characters' worlds shape them.”
This event will be at the Wauwatosa Civic Center, attached to the library. Admission is free for this program, but registration is requested. Books will be available for sale at this event from Boswell. Ribay will sign books brought from home. Signing restrictions may apply.
