Beschreibung

<p><b>The powerful debut from 2020 Booker Prize shortlisted author of <i>The Shadow King</i></b><br><br>Addis Ababa, Ethiopia, 1974 - the eve of a revolution. <br><br>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. <br><br>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.<br><br>Emotionally gripping, poetic and indelibly tragic, <i>Beneath the Lion's Gaze</i> is a transcendent story that tells a gripping story of family and of the bonds of love and friendship. It is a story about the lengths to which human beings will go in pursuit of freedom and the human price of a national revolution.</p>
