A young woman pieces together her troubled past in this story of rebellion and romance set in the Marcos-era Philippines. Soon after she leaves home for university in Manila, Soledad, Soliman (Sol) transforms herself from bookish rich girl to communist rebel. But is her allegiance to the principles of Mao or to Jed, the comrade she’s in love with? Can she really be a part of the movement or is she just a “useful fool,” a spoiled brat playing at revolution?

What did you love best about Gun Dealers' Daughter?
The characters were strong and believable. Soledad, the narrator, has quickly become one of my favorite fictional characters.
What other book might you compare Gun Dealers' Daughter to and why?
It's unique.
What didn’t you like about Holly Fielding’s performance?
The Filipino language and place names were frequently mispronounced, sometimes embarrassingly so. For example, Roxas Blvd is pronounced Row-Haas, not Rocks-ass; and Tagalog is ta-GA-log, not TAG-alog. I recommend reading the book rather than listening to the audio version.
Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?
I needed to pace myself. I needed time to process the many memories and feelings this book recalled.
