<p class=Default><span style='font-size:10.0pt'>After thirteen years of living
in the U.S., Vince returns to his birthplace, the Philippines. As Vince
ventures into the heat and chaos of the city, he encounters a motley cast of
characters, including a renegade nun, a political film director, arrogant hustlers,
and the country’s spotlight-driven First Daughter. Haunted by his childhood
memories and a troubled family history, Vince unravels the turmoil, beauty, and
despair of a life caught between a fractured past and a precarious future.
Witty and mesmerizing, <b><i>Leche </i></b>explores the complex colonial and
cultural history of the Philippines and the paradoxes inherent in the search
for both personal and national identities. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
