Softcover. Condition: Good. "Imperial Ethiopia through the innocent eyes of a young American girl, who came as a privileged foreigner and left with an Ethiopian heart," Prince Asfa-Wossen Asserate, author of King of Kings: Triumph and Tragedy of Emperor Haile Selassie.The haunting memoir Flowers & Locusts opens a window on the legendary kingdom of Ethiopia. The author's father brought his family there from New York City to become official advisor to Emperor Haile Selassie. The arc of the story is set against the unrest that leads to the downfall of the king.From the girl's earliest memory as her family drives through embattled streets during an attempted revolution, to the poignant ending as she is torn from the people she has come to love, the author brings to vivid life momentous events in this ancient African land. At nights when hyenas roam her neighborhood and during enchanted days of adventures and misadventures with a beloved younger brother, the girl's voice - in recounting her father's kidnapping, a gala party at the Palace, or her touching relationship with a young girl in an orphanage - memorably captures the deep emotional texture of her experienceThe memoir is also a meditation on the joys and pains of childhood. It will transport you to a remote and mysterious realm of beautiful wild flowers which spring up after heavy rains and of cycles of locusts that devastate the countryside. Interwoven is the wisdom of the family's Ethiopian caregivers and a gentle boy who opens up the girl's eyes to both the splendors and poverty of the royal capital city outside the family compound.As a coming of age story, Flowers & Locusts will appeal to readers of all ages. Ultimately, the book is a work of gratitude to the author's family and the Ethiopian people. On leaving this magical country, the author feels the profound loss of the only home she's ever known."The author's rich narrative illuminates a unique culture and the wrenching impact of events she could barely fathom," Vincent DeFilippi, MD, FACS, Stanford University Medical Center."This poignant memoir brought me closer to my childhood. I wish I had read it during my own adolescence," Melissa Mertz, Psychotherapist & Trauma Specialist."This wonderful memoir took me back to my own youth in Ethiopia. The author brings the country and its beauty to life. capturing the charm and dignity of its people. " Abraham Verghese MD, bestselling author of Cutting for Stone.
