Produktbeschreibung
An unforgettable story of survival, sisterhood, and the fight for a brighter future. In 1970s Brazil, two teenage sisters are thrust into a chaotic world. Fear and hunger stalk them in a sugarcane town choked by a constant rain of ash, a testament to the ravaged environment in which they are trying to grow. With only each other for comfort, they set out to search for their missing mother and the father they've never known. Every desolate road becomes a gauntlet, every stranger a potential threat. Yet, amidst the dangers, a fierce bond blossoms. Each sister clings to the other, a lifeline in a world teetering on the brink. Their dignity is their own quiet rebellion. Burning Seasons lays bare the scars of a nation, the plight of marginalised people, and the silent suffering of women, girls, and the environment itself. It's also a story of resilience and the power of love - a journey in which innocence seems lost, but hope burns defiant.
