Krátky popis
'Extraordinary' Maaza Mengiste'Exhilarating' Elif BatumanSelam is
the youngest child in a large turbulent family. Even before she is
born, her omniscience animates life in a Small Town in 1980s
southwestern Ethiopia. Selam and her father listen to the radio in
secret as the socialist military junta that recently overthrew the
government seizes properties and wages civil war in the North.The
Asmelashes, once an enterprising, land-owning family, are
ostracized under the new regime. In the Small Town where they live,
nosy women convene around coffee ceremonies multiple times a day,
the gossip spreading like wildfire. As Selam's mother, the powerful
and relentlessly dignified Degitu, grows ill, she embraces a
persecuted, Pentecostal God and insists her family convert
alongside her.The Asmelashes stand solidly in opposition to the
times, and Selam grows up seeking revenge on despotic comrades,
neighbourhood bullies, and a ruthless God. Wise beyond her years
yet thoroughly naive, she contends with an inner fury, a profound
sadness, and a throbbing, unstoppable pursuit of education,
freedom, and love. The History of a Difficult Child is about what
happens when mother, God, and country are at odds, and how one
difficult child finds her voice.
