Based upon the author's own experiences of life, exile, and return
under the dictatorship that gripped Brazil in the 1960s and 1970s,
Freedom Sun in the Tropics follows Lena, a journalist, as she
resists violence and political repression, and decides to flee to
Paris. Upon her eventual return, Lena soon discovers that the
dictatorship's prison walls have enclosed private lives and hold
strong even after the collapse of authoritarianism. With
friendship, truth, and family broken, she struggles to make the
difficult return to freedom and regain a sense of life -- and
simple decency -- on the other side of trauma. Originally published
in 1988, Ana Maria Machado's novel vividly captures one of the
darkest periods in recent Brazilian history.
