At the age of fourteen, she flees her birthplace and wanders into the desert, where she experiences wondrous visions revealing that she is destined for a mission of profound consequence. She must journey to the remote communities of humankind in a fractured, haunted world. She must record their stories, and grant humanity name and form in a post-apocalyptic age.
Accompanied by The Book of Colonies, a volume recounting the pioneer settlers, and by a wild cat who attaches himself to her, she sets out to explore the remnants of the old world. Along her path she encounters a priestess of mechanical pleasure who longs for her android beloved; a hidden women’s commune seeking to portray the totality of love; a laboratory that siphons particle by particle from the consciousness of minds wired into it; a settlement whose heroes are buried upright like trees; and many more.
Ximena’s Pilgrimage is an original, sweeping, and powerful epic. Rachel Madar crafts a compelling portrait of singular human communities – at once futuristic and ancient – offering a fresh perspective on human substance and the fragile weave of the social fabric.

Ximena’s Pilgrimage is a powerful book. Its structural repetition generates a ritual rhythm that carries the reader forward. The progression of the narrative is accompanied by surreal imagery that heightens tension toward what is yet to come. Throughout the book, an echo of a pseudo-mythological past resonates, intertwined with the bluntness of the present.
— Prof. Avraham Oz
Ximena’s Pilgrimage is a stirring and unsettling work. This lyrical dystopia weaves together piercing contemporaneity with epic reverberations of a stark futurism – one that reads like a conjuring of layered pasts.
— Dr. Oded Wolkstein
