Instead of rushing home, she puts off her return by embarking on an investigation into her family's history and her mother's supposed inheritance, a place called La Tercera, which may or may not exist. Rosario catalogs generations of family bequests and detritus: maps of uncertain purpose, rusted chicken coops, a secret journal, the words to songs sung at the family home during visits from Imelda Marcos. Each life Rosario explores opens onto a multitude of other lives and raises a multitude of questions. But as the search for La Tercera becomes increasingly labyrinthine, Rosario's mother and the entire Delgado family emerge in all their dizzying complexity: traitors and heroes, reactionaries and revolutionaries. Meanwhile, another narrative takes shape-of the country's erased history of exploitation and slaughter at the hands of American occupying forces. La Tercera is Gina Apostol's most ambitious, personal, and encompassing novel-a story about the impossibility of capturing the truth of the past, and the terrible cost to a family, or a country, that fails to try"-- $c Provided by publisher. 650 0 $a Daughters $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Novelists $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Mothers $x Death $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Families $x History $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Inheritance and succession $z Philippines $v Fiction. 651 0 $a Philippines $x History $v Fiction. 655 7 $a Historical fiction. $2 lcgft. 655 7 $a Novels. $2 lcgft. 941 $a 5 952 $l VXPE964 $d 20231121010933.0 952 $l GDPF771 $d 20230802012915.0 952 $l TDPH826 $d 20230802011101.0 952 $l LAPH975 $d 20230708011656.0 952 $l CAPH522 $d 20230603010145.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=F40E62E401D311EEACDD33752EECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
