Camped at the edge of the Transbrasiliana highway, Edna inhabits a land in ruins, built upon massacres. Raised by a single mother, she has felt in her bones, and in those of her descendants, the impacts of a war that has never ended: the war for land. Woven together out of Edna’s own accounts and the writings she keeps in a notebook called A História de Minha Vida [The story of my life], the hybrid narrative flits between the real and the imaginary, as it speaks of guerrilla warfare, disappearances, and deforestation, but also about the strength of women, rivers, and forests that refuse to succumb.
