unang una, ang author ay dutch. so parang natuwa ako kasi wow, different perspective. its not everyday na may mga dutch writers di ba. or, kung meron man, in my limited worldview, wala akong kilala. the only dutch i know is the brother in law of mylene. anyway, maganda ang book na ito. parang may mga gabriel garcia ang feel ko. magical realism. siguro dahil sa ending saka sa yaya nila. pero masaya ang stories, saka idol ko si martha kasi singlehandedly raised her sisters.san ka pa. until yumaman sila and all. saka progressive sila na sisters, kasi hindi lang sila napako sa bakery, naging parang supermarket na rin sila towards the end. gusto ko yung story sa lahat siguro nung girl who fell in love sa mechanic kasi medyo tombyish siya and all,and the guy loved her very much. masyado naman kasing tragic yung sa hunchback. haha. actually medyo inclined pala ako sa mayor story except hindi niya napaglaban the girl. as i think now, blessed din pala si martha dito kasi in the end di ba, she got married to this really rich guy who died at biglang yumaman siya. kung totoo itong book review, id start with saying, ito yung book na rich in texture. saka maganda yung pagkwento niya. at well, ala gabriel garcia na mas feminine, girlish writing.
