Dusk
Location(s): Rosales
Genre(s): Fiction
Era(s): Late 19th / Early 20th century
With Dusk (originally published in the Philippines as Po-on), F. Sionil Jose begins his five-novel Rosales Saga, which the poet and critic Ricaredo Demetillo called the first great Filipino novels written in English. Set in the 1880s, Dusk records the exile of a tenant family from its village and the new life it attempts to make in the small town of Rosales. Here commences the epic tale of a family unwillingly thrown into the turmoil of history. But this is more than a historical novel; it is also the eternal story of man’s tortured search for true faith and the larger meaning of existence.
