Book
The wife's tale : a personal history / Aida Edemarian.
A hundred years ago, a girl was born in the northern Ethiopian city of Gondar. Aida Edemariam retells her grandmother's stories of a childhood surrounded by proud priests and soldiers, of her husband's imprisonment, of her fight for justice -- all of it played out against an ancient cycle of festivals and the rhythms of the seasons. She introduces us to a rich cast of characters -- emperors and empresses, scholars and nuns, Marxist revolutionaries and wartime double agents. And through these encounters she takes us deep into the landscape and culture of this many-layered, often mischaracterized country -- and the heart of one indomitable woman.
