Description

In the Women of Tammuz Uranza traced the lives of Filipinos, most of which are women through the peaceful and untroubled days before the Second World War up to the Japanese Occupation period. The war novel ends with the emancipation of Manila. According to F. Sionil José, Women of Tammuz is “more than a novel on the war, [ it ] portrays evocatively the courage of ordinary Filipinos as they persevere through tragedy”.[2][3]

gollark: A somewhat bad demo of ARC (https://forums.computercraft.cc/index.php?topic=10): basically, it displays text on overlay glasses when you're near "beacons" which broadcast text to display. Look at the top right, the top left/bottom left are not ARC stuff.
