Description

The Shadow King A Novel by Maaza Mengiste In the midst of World War II, Ethiopia faces the threat of invasion by Mussolini's army. Hirut, a young woman recently orphaned and forced to adapt to a new life, finds herself at the center of a desperate bid to maintain morale. As the war rages on, Hirut takes a bold step, disguising a gentle peasant as the emperor and inspiring other women to take up arms. With lyrical prose, Maaza Mengiste brings to life the complexities of war and its impact on women. This heart-wrenching exploration of female power and resilience is a powerful portrayal of one woman's struggle to survive and resist in the face of overwhelming odds. Hirut's story is a testament to the strength and courage of women in the face of war and oppression.
