Anna and Joan. The first is diurnal and contemporary, dominated by consumerism and aesthetic and behavioral pressures, and the second is a nocturnal being, influenced by ancestral concepts, intuition and the unconscious. Both are about to turn eighteen and we follow their stories in parallel, month by month, until their birthdays. But don't be fooled, it's more than just a novel of two young women's journey; Sara Under the Sun is a novel about violence, religious persecution, loss of freedom, rights, dreams, reworked bodies, and questioning social roles through vibrant and unique language.
Chris Godard has one of the most thought-provoking pieces of writing in contemporary literature.
