"Celestina’s House is steeped in ghosts and memories that haunt three generations of a family. Celestina fearlessly confronts her own demons, and mala, along with devastating family secrets. This is a skilfully written and searingly honest story that you will not forget." — Kim Echlin, author of Speak, Silence

"Transporting us to a Manila of dark romance and ghosts, Celestina's House is a gothic novel that reminds us how the past is never wholly escapable. Rich and sweeping and literally haunting." — Andrew Pyper, author of The Residence and The Demonologist

"A finely wrought and richly textured intergenerational saga that weaves a family’s history and stories into a deeply felt meditation on love, grief, and loss. Celestina’s House is a rare, beautiful, and moving narrative of a young woman’s search for love, truth and self amid obstacles, trials and impossible odds. A ravishing and astonishing debut." — Patria Rivera, author of Puti/White

"An ornately detailed, decadent, and erotic world inhabited by a fascinating array of characters, both despicable and heroic, a world that needs to be visited and savoured." — Aga Maksimowska, author of Giant
