Description
Glory by NoViolet Bulawayo is an exhilarating tale of an uprising told through a bold and vivid chorus of animal voices. A long time ago, in a bountiful land not so far away, the animals lived happily until the colonisers arrived, sparking a bloody War of Liberation that brought new hope for the animals. The story follows the rise and fall of a charismatic leader who ruled with an elite band of Defenders, but even the most powerful regimes can be overthrown. As the cycle of power is passed on, the animals are left to wonder if they will ever break free from their history. Bulawayo's vivid prose reminds us that the glory of tyranny only lasts as long as its victims are willing to let it. A gripping and thought-provoking novel, Glory explores the complexities of power and resistance in a country seemingly trapped in a cycle as old as time.
