Winner of the PEN/Open Book Award

At university in Manila, young, bookish Soledad Soliman falls in with radical friends, defying her wealthy parents & their society crowd. Drawn in by two romantic young rebels, Sol initiates a conspiracy that quickly spirals out of control. Years later, far from her homeland, Sol reconstructs her fractured memories, writing a confession she hopes will be her salvation. Illuminating the dramatic history of the Marcos-era Philippines, this story of youthful passion is a tour de force.


From Los Angeles Review of Books:

IN HER BRILLIANT NEW NOVEL & American debut, Gun Dealers’ Daughter, Filipino writer Gina Apostol creates one of the most compelling characters in recent fiction: Soledad Soliman, daughter of a wealthy arms merchant during the Marcos years, useful fool & maybe worse. Soledad herself pieces the story together for us — of how bad turned to worse — & whatever one makes of it finally, she holds our attention to the last word with what is almost, yes, a writer’s sensibility & style.


From the Judges’ Citation, PEN/Open Book Award:

Not only does this novel make an argument for social revolution, it makes an argument for the role of literature in revolution—the argument being that literature can be revolution.
