Martha Cecilia Day or also know as MC Day 2018 |
Precious Pages Corporation, publisher of Precious Hearts Romances decided to launch her last novel: The Farmer and the Heiress, written in 2014 and finished by her daughters Nina Martinne and Tsina Cajayon. The event held at The Space, 4th floor of JRich Corporate Center in Sto. Domingo Avenue, Quezon City.
The Farmer and the Heiress is about the beautiful Elleana Syquia, who was born in London with a rich family background in the Ilocos region. Her fabulous life takes a turn when her mother dies. She was obligated and has to leave London to manage her family's hacienda in the said region. Back in her home country, she meets Felipe, a farmer and the most wretched man she has ever met.
Here are some of the positive reviews about The Farmer and the Heiress:
“Done reading… ang ganda super ganda… na miss ko yung mga gawa ni MC. Ung malalim na Tagalog iba tlga tatak Martha Cecilia… Nakakalungkot lng na ito na ung huling gawa ni MC but still nag iisang Martha Cecilia yan at kahit kailan di malalaos at kahit kailan di makakalimutan ang mga akda nya. imiss MC truly. Salamat sa pagkakataon na makapunta at maka-attend sa #MCDAY #ParaSiempre… ” says Abegail Azuela after finishing the book.
“Natapos ko ang book na maraming pagtigil, may mysterious part, nakakaiyak, nakaka-in love,” says Malou Galviso, in one of her Social Media post about the book.
MC Day's theme was Coachella where attendees came in their late spring shorts or Bohemian-inspired outfits. The event began on time with loot bags given to early birds. The program included a game raffle, video presentations, interview, and book signing with Nina Martinne.
