"TO THE PHILIPPINES WITH LOVE" is a book of art and high intelligence. Its autobiographical aspect does not disqualify it as pure literature, and the ordering that Miss Carr has made of her experience in the country does not diminish its authenticity as a faithful document, seen through the vision of a foreigner, of Philippine society in the years immediately after the Second World War.
