Italian term or phrase: sorta al tramonto di una ormai terminata.
Having a little trouble translating above to create the same effect in English, not too happy with it so far and would appreciate ideas. My text:

A new life had just begun for Sarah, born out of the sunset of a life that was now over.

Explanation:
Beatriz, the only way I can think of retaning the "sunset" scope of the phrase is to offset it with a morning associated term..maybe also

Sarah began a new existance in the dawn that followed the sunset of her previous life.
or
A new existance began for Sarah following/after the sunset of her previous life

The twilight following the sunset of her previous life found Sarah just beginning a new existance

Explanation:
Una nuova vita era appena cominciata per Sarah, sorta al tramonto di un vita ormai finita.

Beatriz, I am not sure about " sorta" ...."born out" I found :"existing as a result of a particular situation" so I guess you can translate with " nata al tramonto...."

Explanation:
How about something like....

'As the sun sets on this chapter of Sarah's life, a new chapter is born with the rising of a new sun. '

I might change the order here and then say.......

'Sarah's new life has begun.' or
'Sarah's life has begun again.'


Melodramatic, perhaps, but gets the point across.

Buon lavoro!!!!!
