Synopsis

Connie Escobar always thought she had two navels. This does not sit right with her and she asks Dr. Pepe Monson to remove one of the navels. Her life takes a turn for the worse when she discovers a most disturbing family secret. Betrayed, she flees to Hong Kong where she faces even more unsettling truths.

In this iconic novel from the imagination of the greatest Filipino writer in English Nick Joaquin, what lies hidden is uncovered by extraordinary circumstances. Sharp and wounding, The Woman Who Had Two Navels kills your illusions—no matter how deeply set.
