Freedom Sun in the Tropics

Based on the author's own experiences of life, exile, and return under the dictatorship that gripped Brazil in the 1960s and 1970s, this novel follows Lena, a journalist, as she resists political repression, and flees to Paris. Originally published in 1988, Ana Maria Machado's novel captures one of the darkest periods in recent Brazilian history.
