Enter the Goodreads giveaway for The Villa, Once Beloved by Victor Manibo, a gripping tale of heritage, mystery, and reckoning. Villa Sepulveda, a decaying Spanish colonial estate tucked deep in a coconut plantation, stands as a symbol of the Philippines’ layered past. When the family patriarch dies under suspicious circumstances, his scattered descendants return to the ancestral home.
Adrian Sepulveda, a Filipino-American college student, brings his girlfriend Sophie, a transracial adoptee unfamiliar with her Filipino roots, to the funeral of a man whose legacy is woven into the nation’s history. But Sophie quickly realizes the Sepulvedas are more than just a powerful family. As grief gives way to bitter conflict and whispers of a curse, a landslide traps them inside the villa. What follows is a slow unraveling of long-buried secrets, some deeply personal, others with consequences that reach far beyond the crumbling walls.
