Instead of rushing home, she puts off her return by embarking on a remote 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 Delgado 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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eEach life Rosario explores opens onto an array of other lives and raises a multitude of new 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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eLa Tercera\u003c\/i\u003e is Gina Apostol’s most ambitious, personal, and encompassing novel: a story about what seems impossible—capturing the truth of the past—and the terrible cost to a family, or a country, that fails to try.","brand":"Libreria Fiore","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54040951521626,"sku":null,"price":19.47,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0949\/7382\/1274\/files\/9947393482772.jpg?v=1776790870","url":"https:\/\/libreriafiore.it\/products\/la-tercera","provider":"Libreria Fiore","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
