Produktbeschreibung

Life in Paraguay! What an adventure it all seems for idealistic sixteen-year-old Anna when she arrives in her new homeland in the Chaco of South America. Then she discovers the wilderness is hostile, pioneering is unrelentingly difficult, marriage brings sorrow, and friends become enemies. But she also finds love. Again and again, as her exuberant spirit is tested, she strives for resilience. And near the close of her life, she finds the best surprise of all. Under the Still Standing Sun is a deeply affecting and intimate journey through a woman's life, woven into the narrative of Mennonite settlement in Paraguay.
Dora Dueck's first novel, Under the Still Standing Sun, grew out of research she did while living in the Chaco of Paraguay on a two-year development assignment with her husband, who grew up there. She now lives and writes in Winnipeg, Canada, and is the author of the award winning novel This Hidden Thing and short story collection What You Get At Home.nnThe publishing agency JustBestEBooks of Rudolf Dück Sawatzky in Quickborn, Germany is publishing books primarily from foreign German-speaking authors in digital- and paper format.
