Synopsis
The Voice In The Rice is a novel written by Gouverneur Morris and first published in 1910. The story is set in the Philippines during the American occupation and follows the lives of two main characters: John Markham, an American engineer who is sent to the Philippines to work on a rice irrigation project, and Dolores Pennington, a young American woman who has been living in the Philippines with her missionary parents.As Markham begins his work on the rice project, he becomes increasingly fascinated by the local culture and the people he meets, including Dolores. The two quickly fall in love, but their relationship is complicated by the cultural differences between them and the disapproval of Dolores' parents.Meanwhile, a rebellion is brewing among the local population, and Markham finds himself caught up in the conflict. As tensions rise, Markham and Dolores must navigate their way through danger and uncertainty to find a way to be together.The Voice In The Rice is a compelling tale of love and adventure set against the backdrop of a fascinating period in Philippine history. Morris' vivid descriptions of the landscape and culture of the Philippines bring the story to life, while his exploration of the themes of colonialism, cultural identity, and personal freedom make the novel a thought-provoking read.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
