by Cris Judar (Author), Lara Norgaard (Translator)

Ana and Joan. The first, a woman of daytime, of the contemporary, bombarded by consumerism and the aesthetic and behavioral pressures of our times. The second, a woman immersed in the realm of the night, attuned to ancestralism, rites of passage, and the intuitions of her subconscious. Both are on the brink of turning eighteen, and their stories run in parallel, month by month, until their birthdays. But more than just a tale of the two young women's journeys, They Marched Under the Sun is a novel about violence, religious persecution, the loss of freedom and rights, as well as a statement on our need for ritual, dreams, and the resignification of bodies and social roles, conveyed in the author's vibrant and singular literary voice.
