Beneath the Lion's Gaze: A Novel

"An important novel, rich in compassion for its anguished characters."â€•The New York Times Book Review
This memorable, heartbreaking story opens in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia, 1974, on the eve of a revolution. Yonas kneels in his motherâ€™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, Hailuâ€™s youngest son, has joined an underground resistance movementâ€•a choice that will lead to more upheaval and bloodshed across a ravaged Ethiopia.

Beneath the Lionâ€™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 Lionâ€™s Gaze is a transcendent and powerful debut.
