'Called back home from Australia to the Philippines by an enigmatic letter from her mother, Caridad begins an emotional journey of self-discovery. The truth emerges in first person accounts by the women involved–Caridad, her mother Thelma, her aunt Emma, and her cousin, Ligaya–and presents a tale of personal tragedy and social devastation during the wartime Japanese occupation, and then during the post-war invasion of American troops billeted at the huge naval bases, which brought the seediest of western culture to the people of Manila.'

5 4 y separately published work icon Season of the Monsoon Paul Mann , Sydney : Pan Macmillan Australia , 1992 Z27451 1992 single work novel crime 'As a police detective in Bombay, Inspector George Sansi is used to struggling for order in one of the world's most exuberantly chaotic cities. But the mutilated corpse discovered in Bollywood - the Hollywood of India - taxes even Sansi's formidable skills. Could the murder have been a cult initiation gone hideously wrong? Was it the work of a serial killer? Was the victim killed as part of a political cover-up? Answering those questions will take Sansi from Bombay's teeming slums to the film community's palaces of excess and the menacing haunts of India's underworld. It will uncover a web of corruption that stretches from the powerful to the desperately powerless. And it will leave him running for his life.' (Publication summary)
