Beneath the Lion's Gaze by Maaza Mengiste
4.0

Very interesting book...not a light read, since it involves the Ethiopian revolution of 1974 and the abuses/politics of several years after. The story revolves around one family, and the author does a great job describing the family relationships -- beautiful language, and some very lovely passages concerning the marriages of the main characters. Worth reading, definitely.
