MARCH - The Shadow King by Maaza Mengiste
Date: Wednesday, March 31, 2021 at 4pm
We are reading this historical fiction novel in honor of March being Women's History Month.
From the book jacket: “Set during Mussolini’s 1935 invasion of Ethiopia, The Shadow King 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.”
Free copies of the book will be given to registrants on a first come first served basis while supplies last. The audiobook version is available for checkout from Hoopla Digital.
