sunny days

Sunshine Days embodies the modern human question of personal identity and serves as a perfect illustration of the migration experience. But above all, it is the vision of the stranger, one that embraces rebellion against the new reality while simultaneously forging a way to adapt to its harshness. The novel speaks of the hardships faced by immigrants and refugees in the new countries they have fled to, countries they believed would be spaces for realizing their dreams, only to discover they are graveyards for those dreams. There, they are exploited in arduous labor due to their undocumented status, as is the case for several women in a nearly deserted mountain town on the west coast of the United States, a town that was once home to miners.
