Glory is the story of an uprising, told by a vivid chorus of animal voices that help us to see our human world more clearly.

Quote from 2023 judge Irenosen Okojie: "Glory by NoViolet Bulawayo is a hilarious, sharply observed political satire skewering Zimbabwean politics. It's a book set in an animal kingdom where a coup occurs, and we’re introduced to all sorts of unusual, bizarre characters."
