Beneath the Lion’s Gaze is a novel by Maaza Mengiste an Addis Ababa, Ethiopian born author with an MFA in creative writing from New York University.
This novel is about “an epic tale of a father and two sons, of betrayals and loyalties, of a family unraveling in the wake of Ethiopians revolution”. “It 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 before. 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.
This novel has been acclaimed to be a “transcendent and a powerful debut” by a very powerful writer.
