Through the eyes of Hirut, a young servant who becomes a fighter, the story highlights the often-overlooked role of women in war. As Ethiopia resists Mussolini’s forces, the novel follows soldiers, servants, and civilians caught in a brutal conflict shaped by courage, survival, and sacrifice. Lyrical and intense, Maaza Mengiste brings history to life while exploring identity, power, and resistance.
