Burning Seasons - Nana Howton

An unforgettable story of survival, sisterhood, and the struggle for a brighter future, based on the author’s own experiences during Brazil’s military dictatorship. 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 toxic 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 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.
