Nang Bata Pa Kami

Manuel reminds Edeng of the days when they were small children living almost across the street from each other, and a shy smile from her window first stirred a feeling he could not name. Told as a string of brief remembrances, the book follows that childish attachment as it grows into a love both of them keep half hidden. A short novel of 1913, published with a foreword by Asuncion Palma.

Summary written with Claude Opus 5.5.
