Notes
Description
"With the threat of Mussolini?s army looming, recently orphaned Hirut struggles to adapt to her new life as a maid in Kidane and his wife Aster?s household. Kidane, an officer in Emperor Haile Selassie?s army, rushes to mobilize his strongest men before the Italians invade. His initial kindness to Hirut shifts into a flinty cruelty when she resists his advances, and Hirut finds herself tumbling into a new world of thefts and violations, of betrayals and overwhelming rage. Meanwhile, Mussolini?s technologically advanced army prepares for an easy victory. Hundreds of thousands of Italians?Jewish photographer Ettore among them?march on Ethiopia seeking adventure."--Amazon.com.
