520    "Mahlet, a young Ethiopian girl with a gift for 
       storytelling, has a special bond with Yacob, the oldest in
       her household. When Yacob tells her stories of how he and 
       the other warriors fought in the resistance against the 
       Italian occupation of Ethiopia, Mahlet vows to become the 
       keeper and teller of her family's stories. From the time 
       of Menelik to the present, Mahlet's long voyage through 
       time and space links thousands of stories between Africa 
       and Europe. Intensely personal, this powerful and 
       beautifully narrated novel tells the story of the Italian 
       occupation of Ethiopia as well as of others around the 
       globe who have suffered under colonialism or have been 
       forcibly exiled from their homelands"--Provided by 
       publisher.
