Unfortunate Marriage Of Azeb Yitades — Nega Mezlekia

Aba Yitades, the local priest, takes this challenge very personally. The father of three daughters, he is always alert to the new temptations they face -- and never more so than when the arrival of a family of American missionaries threatens to put an end to the community's most treasured traditions.

Steeped in the rich and unique culture of the Ethiopian highlands, this story of a village's reluctant but inevitable modernization -- and one woman's tragic downfall -- is told with Nega Mezlekia's customary wit and charm.
