Title: ERRANTE GOLONDRINA: THE LIFE AND TIMES OF JOSEPHINE BRACKEN
This book is about Josephine Bracken’s legitimate origin and her marriage to Jose Rizal. Authored by her great-grandson, it is the first biography to come to her defense amidst allegations by historians that she was illegitimate and not lawfully wedded to the national hero. It presents Josephine Bracken’s life before, during and after her brief but intense romance with Rizal, who called her a wandering swallow (errante golondrina). How she evolves into one of our history’s unsung heroines is the fascinating plot of this narrative.
