Days later, her unassuming neighborhood is burned to the ground in what some whisper is retaliation. With nowhere else to go, she returns with beloved cat Jestoni to M--, the small fishing village of her childhood and her best chance at regaining the quiet life she lost. But the terror Yñiga thought she escaped in the city still stalks her, forcing her and Jestoni into the nearby forest of both trees and trauma that has long haunted her family. For Yñiga, there is no escape, only resistance. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eInspired by the state-sponsored killings under Gloria Macapagal Arroyo, Glenn Diaz uses keen political acumen and masterful storytelling to explore familial resistance and the devastating weight of its legacy.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eGlenn Diaz is the author of the novels \u003ci\u003eThe Quiet Ones\u003c\/i\u003e (2017) and \u003ci\u003eYñiga\u003c\/i\u003e (2022), both winners of the Philippine National Book Award; and \u003ci\u003eWhen the World Ended I Was Thinking about the Forest\u003c\/i\u003e (2022), published by Paper Trail Projects.
