520 $aBetween generations of women, there are always secrets - relationships kept hidden, past events obscured, true feelings not spoken. But sometimes the truth is so primal it must be told. At the center of The Last Time I Saw Mother is the singular story of a woman who suddenly learns she is not who she thinks she is.
520 8 $aCaridad is a wife and mother, a native of the Philippines living in Sydney, Australia. Out of the blue, Caridad's mother summons her home. Although she is not ill, Thelma needs to talk to her daughter - to reveal a secret that has been weighing heavily on her for years.
520 8 $aIt is a tale that Caridad in no way suspects. Now, it is through the words of Thelma, her aunt Emma, and her cousin Ligaya that Caridad will learn the startling truth and attempt to recapture what has been lost to her.
520 8 $aAs each woman tells her part of their family's hidden history, Caridad hears at last the unspoken stories - the joys and sorrows that her parents kept to themselves, and the never forgotten tragedy of the war years, when Japan's brutal occupation and civilian deprivations helped destroy a country and its history. The Last Time I Saw Mother is about mothers and daughters. It is about a cultural identity born of Spanish, Chinese, and Filipino influence. And it is about the healing power of truth.
