Description

This memorable, heartbreaking story opens in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia, 1974, on the eve of a revolution.

Yonas kneels in his mother's prayer room, pleading to his god for an end to the violence that has wracked his family and country.

His father, Hailu, a prominent doctor, has been ordered to report to jail after helping a victim of state-sanctioned torture to die. And Dawit, Hailu's youngest son, has joined an underground resistance movement-a choice that will lead to more upheaval and bloodshed across a ravaged Ethiopia.Beneath the Lion's Gaze tells a gripping story of family, of the bonds of love and friendship set in a time and place that has rarely been explored in fiction.

It is a story about the lengths human beings will go in pursuit of freedom and the human price of a national revolution.

Emotionally gripping, poetic, and indelibly tragic, Beneath The Lion's Gaze is a transcendent and powerful debut.
