Rumblings of War - excerpt Chapter 1

The novel, When the Rainbow Goddess Wept, by Cecilia Manguerra Brainard has been reviewed as follows:
"Interweaves realistic events with myths of women fighters and goddesses, as well as fantastic dreams...Brainard's appealing characters are larger than life, people who change before our eyes, yet remain utterly convincing....A fast-paced, sensitively written first novel." (Kirkus Reviews)

"The strengthening of the national spirit; the loss of innocence in two generations - these themes are explored by the author, who was born in the Philippines, with persuasive conviction and stark realism." (Publishers Weekly)

"Stories of war are perhaps most compelling when told through the eyes of children, whose innocence is always so tragically incongruous to the adult madness that rages around them. When the Rainbow Goddess Wept, a first novel by Cecilia Manguerra Brainard that chronicles the Japanese invasion of the Philippines during World War II, is no exception." (Los Angeles Times)

"Enchanting throughout, this novel will mesmerize the reader right up until its victorious ending." (Booklist)

This book was translated into Turkish. I am always looking for an international publisher.
