Which title is Stevan Javellana's novel about a woman torn between her husband and native customs?

• A. Without Seeing the Dawn
• B. The Distant Shore
• C. In the Shadow of Dawn
• D. A Woman's Choice

Answer: (A)

The central idea here is recognizing a work by Stevan Javellana that centers on a woman torn between her husband and native customs. In Without Seeing the Dawn, the narrative pivots on a woman who must navigate between loyalty to her husband and the pressure or expectations of her community’s traditional norms. The title itself evokes an awakening or realization just before a new day, mirroring the moment she confronts this inner conflict and the cultural demands around her. That focus on personal loyalty versus tradition is what makes this the best fit.

The other titles don’t align as closely with Javellana’s themes or with this particular plot dynamic, so they don’t fit the described scenario as well.
