A lyrical coming-of-age story set in the heat and hunger of a small Filipino town, Banana Heart Summer is a sensuous and haunting exploration of love, memory, and food. Merlinda Bobis serves up a feast of smoky coconut chicken, sticky rice with anise, and the ache of longing that lingers like spice on the tongue.

Through the eyes of a young girl named Nenita, the novel captures the delicate balance between love and anger, family and self, poverty and pride. Touching, funny, and deeply Filipino, Banana Heart Summer invites readers into a world where every meal tells a story — and every flavor hides a secret.

A must-read modern classic of Filipino literature.
