Ever wondered what advice your great-great-great-grandmother might have gotten? Forget dusty history books—this one is a time capsule in the form of letters. It's 1864, and two sisters, Urbana and Feliza, are writing home. Urbana is in Manila, soaking up city life, while Feliza is back in their provincial town. Through their letters, you get a front-row seat to a quiet revolution: the clash between old traditions and new ideas, between family duty and personal dreams. It’s not a spy thriller, but the tension is real. Can Feliza navigate society's strict rules? Will Urbana's modern views cause a scandal? It’s surprisingly relatable drama, wrapped in the beautiful, formal language of a bygone era.

Published in 1864, this book is a collection of fictional letters between two sisters. Urbana, the elder, has moved to Manila for her education. Feliza, the younger, remains in their hometown. Their correspondence becomes a guidebook for life, covering everything from proper manners and religious devotion to managing a household and navigating social obligations.

The Story

There isn't a single, driving plot with a villain. Instead, the story unfolds through the sisters' concerns and advice. Urbana writes from the capital, explaining new social customs and the importance of a refined education. Feliza writes back, describing life at home, asking for guidance on everything from treating guests to dealing with gossip. Through their exchange, we see the expectations placed on young women: to be pious, obedient, skilled in domestic arts, and a credit to their family. The central 'drama' is whether Feliza can successfully become the ideal, virtuous woman her society demands.

Why You Should Read It

Reading this feels like eavesdropping on history. You get the raw, everyday worries of people from another time. While the rules seem strict to us now, the core desires are familiar: the pressure to make your family proud, the anxiety of fitting in, and the bond between sisters. Modesto de Castro's writing, while formal, has a gentle, instructive tone. It’s less about preaching and more about a sincere desire to guide. It makes you think about which societal rules we still follow today and which ones we've thankfully left behind.

Final Verdict

Perfect for anyone curious about Filipino social history, but from a personal, intimate angle. It's also a great pick for readers who enjoy character studies and slice-of-life stories. If you're looking for fast-paced action, this isn't it. But if you want to slowly immerse yourself in another world and understand the roots of modern Filipino values, this book is a quiet, fascinating treasure.
