People sell this book as 'African Animal Farm', but that doesn't do it justice!
Glory describes the events surrounding the 2018 Zimbabwe election using animals rather than people; using animals provided distance for those close to the violence and made it accessible for those who didn't know this piece of history, while pulling back the veil every once in a while to remind you that these events happened to real people.
Literary, heartbreaking, & hopeful.
