SAMPAN LADY is the story of Kuh, a beautiful, strong-willed woman. Her story unfolds in the oriental port city of Aberdien, a destitute fishing village where its quietly despairing citizens are forced to live their entire lives crowded into their tiny boats, their Sampans. Her life completely changes when she finds love and joins a band of pirates, but trial and tragedy chase after her relentlessly. Kuh loses her family, her home and all that she knows. She is abducted and suffers unspeakable indignities at the hands of a cruel emperor and his men. Broken, she endures and bides her time. Soon her enemies will know that she is not just a mere Sampan Lady.
PILIPINO KLASIKS is proud to bring back SAMPAN LADY in a deluxe, new edition, 40 years after its original run.
