Description: "A remarkable first novel filled with family secrets and the intersection of personal and world histories, told through four mesmerizing voices". -- Amy Tan

"An often lyrical and always toughminded debut ... Provides rare insights into three cultures -- Spanish, Chinese, and Filipino -- that coexist in the Philippines". -- The New York Times Book Review

Clara Perez is a reporter on a small South Seas island. Full of idealistic ambition, she grows tired of the trivial assignments she's given, yearning to write articles of substance. So when the tiny Calle de Leon bursts into flames after a student demonstration -- and a soldier kills an unarmed man -- Clara seizes the chance to cover the explosive story.

Yet after Clara rushes to investigate the tragedy, she discovers another, more personal one involving some remarkable truths about her unknown past.

"Eating Fire and Drinking Water" is an extraordinary work, a powerful and pulsing novel of politics and commitment, loyalty and love, and the poignant search for truth.
