Luki, a young lady from Bontoc, Mountain Province, is unable to conform to the standards of her tribe. She'd rather go out hunting boars with her best friend instead of doing what was expected of her as a young woman (cooking, cleaning, sewing, getting married, etc.). She grabbed the offer made by the Americans to travel to the United States and attend the 1904 St. Louis World Fair in the hopes of finally achieving a sense of fulfillment and freedom. However, it turns out that the land of opportunity is not what it seems.

Overall, I enjoyed reading it. I was fully invested in the story. The writer's narration is incredible and I liked how the historical details are woven thoroughly with it without info dumping. Characters are engaging, especially Luki. I just wish that there was a bit more tension though.
The ironies and ignorance of the Americans just goes to show how truly f***ed up that time was. The World Fair was a place of exploitation. I'm glad to have learned this part of history that I hadn't heard of during my Philippine history lectures back in Elementary and High School (hyperfixed on researching rn T_T).
