<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>Shortlisted for the 2020 Booker Prize, and named a best book of the year by the <em>New York Times</em>, NPR, <em>Elle</em>, <em>Time</em>, and more, <em>The Shadow King</em> is an "unforgettable epic from an immensely talented author who's unafraid to take risks" (Michael Schaub, NPR).<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p>Set during Mussolini's 1935 invasion of Ethiopia, <em>The Shadow King</em> takes us back to the first real conflict of World War II, casting light on the women soldiers who were left out of the historical record. At its heart is orphaned maid Hirut, who finds herself tumbling into a new world of thefts and violations, of betrayals and overwhelming rage. What follows is a heartrending and unputdownable exploration of what it means to be a woman at war.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br><em>The Shadow King</em> exposes a brutal chapter in Ethiopia's history and urges readers to listen for the untold stories of war, especially those of women.--Katie Noah Gibson "Shelf Awareness"<br><br>[<em>The Shadow King</em>] is written in a key of pride and exaltation, and its characters have the outsize form of national heroes.... Stirring.--Sam Sacks "Wall Street Journal"<br><br>A beautiful and thoughtful epic.--Francesca Capossela "Los Angeles Review of Books"<br><br>Ambitious and illuminating.--Elizabeth Sile "Real Simple"<br><br>Capacious.... adopts the register of myth to shape an epic of nationhood and resistance.-- "The New Yorker"<br><br>In haunting and beautiful prose, Mengiste shines a light on those whose lives are not often heralded.-- "Newsweek"<br><br>Lyrical, remarkable.-- "New York Times Book Review, Editors' Choice"<br><br>Monumental.... Mengiste's extraordinary characters--shrewd Kidane, militant Aster, the enigmatic cook, narcissistic Italian commander Fucelli, conflicted photographer Ettore, elusive prostitute Fifi, even haunted Selassie--epitomize the impossibly intricate ties between humanity and monstrosity, and the unthinkable, immeasurable cost of survival.-- "Booklist (starred review)"<br><br>Stunning.... [Mengiste] produced a work of fiction that is epic in reach, with brilliant borrowings from the forms of classic tragedy.... The book is impossible to put down or put out of mind.-- "BookPage (starred review)"<br><br>Unforgettable.... [A] propulsive read that captures a historical moment from a fresh perspective.-- "Time"<br>
