Three generations of women from one immigrant family try to reconcile the home they left behind with the life they're building in America. Illuminating the violent political history of the Philippines in the 1980s and 1990s and the insular immigrant communities that spring up in the suburban United States, Castillo delivers a powerful, increasingly relevant novel about the promise of the American dream and the unshakable power of the past.

5,0 su 5 stelle If you're Filipino American, you will LOVE this

The title of this book made me assume it was an anti-"America is the Heart" book by Carlos Bulosan. It is not. The title also made me think it was a political book. It also is not.

It's a gorgeous, brilliantly written novel about a Filipino America family in California in the 1980s-90s. Every scene was so familiar and accurate. As a reader, I've never felt so seen. And the Tagalog, Ilocano, and Pagisinan dropped throughout, yet still understandable to this English speaker... Castillo is a magician. Such a lovely, complex, searing, and gripping book.

Like others who have posted, I found myself immersed in this story and characters, propelled by the power of the writing. Many have written about the important themes - immigration, trauma, caste, sexuality, family, love. The core issues - how we hurt each other as humans and how we help each other heal. I felt on location in all the settings- Bay Area, colonial legacy town, guerilla mountains. A gifted writer. The women at the heart of this book are complex and unforgettable.

For me, though, one more aspect - the shame and recognition once more of the malign legacy of colonialism and racism. As an American my history and society and the history and society of the Philippines are intertwined but I recognised how little I know about that. This book awakened my curiosity and sense of connection and will have a lasting impact. I would like to read Castillo’s essays about reading to know more about what she thinks about how stories work in the world.

It‘s been a long time since I‘ve been so profoundly touched by a novel. It‘s devastating, haunting, and yet, still so full of hope. The novel poses the question „What is beyond trauma?“, and answers it by having the main character, an illegal immigrant with a dark past, build a new identity amongst the small and mundane world of the early 90s Milpitas Filipino community. It‘s a heartbreaking endeavour, soothed by the new relationships Hero finds. Would definitely recommend!

First encountered Elaine Castillo on the queer stories podcast and immediately sought out more of her. I bought this book after reading a sample and was irritated each time I had to put it down to go to work - engaging and interesting perspective structure - couldn't have enjoyed more

4,0 su 5 stelle Disjointed narrative point of view, but overall compelling.

Just finished America is Not the Heart by Elaine Castillo about a Filipino family who immigrate to the US in the 1980s. Overall, I enjoyed the book, but it begins in 2nd person, which is interesting, but also jarring. Then, it switches to 3rd person for most of the novel and the protagonist isn’t the person I thought it was going to be. The 2nd person point of view appears again later in the novel, but it’s the voice of a different character altogether. I wonder what kind of conversations the author had with her editor regarding this and I assume many readers found it disorienting. However, I really enjoyed the poetic yet snarky quality of the writing in the middle section and I appreciate the author putting a romantic relationship between two women front and center. Overall, I’m glad I read it now because I learned about Filipino history, culture, and food, and it made me want to keep on learning.
