This novel, Cave and shadows, as expected, because of its author that is known
as the most mystical Filipino writer, had a touch of supernatural things. Regardless of
that, the novel appeared very interesting and knowledgeable. Its plot is well-developed,
although it’s subplot about the equality of man and woman, turn up to divert the flow of
the story. The characters were clearly introduced, and had their own key part; also, the
way that Nick Joaquin illustrated the setting helps to envision the comings and goings
visibly.
Likewise, the baffling death of Nenita Coogan and how Jack Henson struggled to
reveal the truth behind it, made the story imperceptible, and that render us to be
engrossed deeply in the story. In addition, the subject matter and other issues that had
been embark upon the story help out to fascinate readers, for the reason that it is one of
the predicaments that had been stumble upon by our society at some point before.
When all’s said and done, the novel is excellent and erudite. It doesn’t only deal
with mystery and fantasy, but also, the actual deeds in our country and its natives,
which finished the story worthwhile and significant.
