i have read this pocketbook before but i forgot about it. it’s a very good story. i very much like it because though the plot has a familiarity to me, still the story manages to solicit a positive reaction and a flow of emotions that so few a book could elicit from me.
it’s about second chances, second lives, well-developed characters that you just find yourself reading on and on. there’s poetry in it and it’s good because it’s in Filipino which means that it could elicit a far deeper emotion and stir a different kind of reaction and would mean a lot more than a foreign novel would.
the parts of a poetry that one of the characters supposedly made which is present at the beginning of every chapter is so rich and captivating. who would have known that ivy luna would fall for the man she did not like being with? who would have known that the man she was keeping in her heart was the same man that she always turned away? and above all, who would have known that onse diaz’s love for ivy was so great that it managed to break through the barriers of time and place? and best of all, the song highlighted in the story id just too meaningful. i wonder where that came from, really.
