Our Library’s Book Spotlight for this week is “The Mango Bride“, winner of the Carlos Palanca Memorial Award for Literature written by Marivi Soliven.
This novel portrays the intertwining lives of two beautiful women who were raised in opposite social backgrounds. Their class distinctions keep them apart their entire lives until tragedy and possibly fate, bring them together. The book follows Amparo Guerrero and Beverly Obejas, as they both struggle under the oppression they face in Manila. Although they both travel separately to Oakland, California for completely different reasons, the two end up connected in an unexpected way.
