Description
At the top of Esperanza Street stands a grand Spanish colonial house, its three-storey facade a testament to a bygone era. It is here that Joseph, a young houseboy, finds himself at the mercy of Mary Morelos, who has taken him in after his father's departure. As Joseph navigates this new world, he witnesses the decline of the community around him, and grapples with the consequences of the choices made by those in power. Set against the backdrop of a port town in the Philippines, Niyati Keni's debut novel explores themes of freedom, progress, and the illusion of both. Through Joseph's eyes, we see the intricate web of relationships that bind people together, and the ways in which our decisions shape who we are. A powerful and evocative tale of identity, community, and the human condition, Esperanza Street is a richly populated novel that delves into the complexities of life under the guise of change.
