One of two novels authored by Joaquin during his lifetime (written twenty-two years after Joaquin’s The Woman Who Had Two Navels ), it is regarded as an important book to read for Philippine literature students. Other themes include politics, love, family, friendship, reconciliation, and tyranny. It is a detective fiction that also deals with and arcane and historical cults involving beatas or “beatified women” (a group of religious lay women who were "repressed by a male-dominated, colonial order" ) and strange events occurring inside unfamiliar caves in the Metro Manila area. The setting of the novel is during Ferdinand Marcos’s martial law in the Philippines, including the time in Manila when activism was alive and demonstrations were frequent before August 1972 (described as Joaquin’s “‘objective correlative’ to the Crisis of ’72” ), before the declaration of martial rule.
