Named one of the best books of 2018 by NPR, Real Simple, Lit Hub, The Boston Globe, San Francisco Chronicle, The New York Post, Kirkus Reviews, and The New York Public Library "A saga rich with origin myths, national and personal . . . Castillo is part of a younger generation of American writers instilling literature with a layered sense of identity." --Vogue How many lives fit in a lifetime? When Hero De Vera arrives in America--haunted by the political upheaval in the Philippines and disowned by her parents--she's already on her third. Her uncle gives her a fresh start in the Bay Area, and he doesn't ask about her past. His younger wife knows enough about the might and secrecy of the De Vera family to keep her head down. But their daughter--the first American-born daughter in the family--can't resist asking Hero about her damaged hands. An increasingly relevant story told with startling lucidity, humor, and an uncanny ear for the intimacies and shorthand of family ritual, America Is Not the Heart is a sprawling, soulful debut about three generations of women in one family struggling to balance the promise of the American dream and the unshakeable grip of history. With exuberance, grit, and sly tenderness, here is a family saga; an origin story; a romance; a narrative of two nations and the people who leave one home to grasp at another.

Best Edition America Is Not the Heart: A Novel with FREE PDF EDITION!



In today's dynamic of trying to understand other cultures, I feel it is important to learn that indeed all lives matter, as well as their stories, both fiction and non-fiction, and the Filipino and Filipino-American experience is one that has must be told and is slowly picking up momentum. The author adds depth to the characters: flaws, deep sentiments both joyful and tragic, inner conflicts, sexual conflicts and family relations. The story is based in the SF Bay Area, with roots to the Philippines. I also found an underlying theme of food as a common ground and fabric, in which the novel ends (spoiler alert) in a poignant fashion with the family eating pancit with words unspoken. You don't have to be Filipino to enjoy the novel. When I finished, I wanted there to be more. An excellent read.
