In this volume
Pepe watches his mother endure a punishing journey toward prison and tries to understand the accusation against her. Memories of Teodora’s kindness and teaching contrast with her treatment by the authorities. A flashback to a family gathering reveals the contempt behind the accusation. Paciano’s response gives Pepe a lesson that echoes through the series: Filipinos and Spaniards are not different in their humanity.
