Description
In the 'Women of Tammuz' Uranza traced the lives of Filipinos, most of which are women through the peaceful and untroubled days before the Second World War up to the Japanese Occupation period. The war novel ends with the emancipation of Manila. According to F. Sionil Jos, 'Women of Tammuz' is more than a novel on the war, [ it ] portrays evocatively the courage of ordinary Filipinos as they persevere through tragedy.[http://nbdb.gov.ph/nbdb-awb/index.php?filter=W "Women of Tammuz" by Azucena Grajo-Uranza], nbdb.gov.ph[http://manilacritics.tripod.com/w3.html "Women of Tammuz" by Azucena Grajo-Uranza], Philippine National Book Awards, Annual Awards for Outstanding Philippine Books, The Manila Critics Circle, manilacritics.tripod.com
