- The Line of the Sun, titled La Línea del Sol in the Spanish translation, is a 1989 novel written by Puerto Rican-American author Judith Ortiz Cofer. The story spans three decades, beginning in the late 1930s and ending in the 1960s. The novel is Ortiz Cofer's main work of prose, and its publication helped broaden her readership. Originally published in English, the novel tells the story of a Puerto Rican family that emigrates to the United States. The story depicts the cultural, social, and personal struggles of family members to maintain their native Puerto Rican culture, and their way of life, both in the Puerto Rican barrio and in the suburbs of New Jersey. The beginning recounts the family's history in Puerto Rico, and the troubled life of Uncle Guzmán. The second half of the novel focuses on Marisol, the eldest daughter of the family. Marisol narrates her family's migration as they transition from rural life and the conditions of the Island to a tenement building in New Jersey, ultimately settling in the suburbs. Her commentary also covers her mother's brief return to the Island. (en)
