Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })Tree is the third in terms of writing, and second in chronological order, of Filipino novelist F. Sionil José's five-volume Rosales Saga.The entire novel consists of the reminiscences of an unnamed narrator about his childhood and youth in Rosales, the little rural town in Pangasinan province, where he grew up. The memoirs cycle through a diverse cast of characters, including the following: his father who works as a land administrator; his young and eccentric artist uncle; his older politician uncle; his Kissing Cousins and even the (figurative) ghost of his mother, who died giving birth to him. And that's just his extensive family to begin with; not yet mentioned are his father's servants, farm workers, community figures like teachers and priests and circus performers and so forth.Hanging over this motley plantation society are two enormous, enduring, and immutable shadows: on the one hand, the largely unseen but incredibly parasitical landlord Don Vicente, whose vast landholdings it is the narrator's father's job to manage; and on the other, the gigantic balete (strangler fig) tree growing in the town plaza, for which the novel is named, seemingly invulnerable, deathless, and, owing to its biology of growing around host trees eventually to suffocate them, a monstrous predator in its own right.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })Compare Without Seeing The Dawn, a 1947 novel set in roughly the same time period, but in the province of Iloilo to the south, and which basically gives A Day in the Limelight to the tenant farmers themselves, people like those who work for the Boy's father in this novel. | |

Buy Them Off | |

Buy Them Off: When Baldo begins his campaign to redraw Don Vicente’s lands to return them to their original owners—the smallholders-turned-tenants of Carmay—Don Vicente attempts to buy him off by giving money to Espiridion to pass on to Tio Baldo. The latter refuses the bribe, however. | |
