Description: The book is in used condition but overall solid. No dust cover and 5th printing. Book has some wear from over time, page browning, worn edges, inscriptions from previous owners etc. Please see pictures and open to offers, thank you. A short plot summary I pulled from Good Reads "Bare Feet in the Palace" is an excellent account of the people of the Philippines during the transition time after WWII, (1948-1952), as they became a truly independent country. It describes post-war Manila as well as the other areas of the country. There is a very heart-stirring account of the first free election. Included are ancedotes about her family's life during their time in Manila. Her adolescent son, her husband (who worked for the British Government as a Forestry Expert previous to WWII, but in the Philippines, works for the UN), herself and their life with the locals make for interesting reading. She writes about the people; how they felt, why they felt that way, how they overcame, why they didn't overcome, and the circumstances surrounding them"
