Sarah Ladipo Manyika, GuardianGlory is an energy burst, an
exhilarating joyride. It is the story of an uprising, told by a
bold, vivid chorus of animal voices that helps us see our human
world more clearly A long time ago, in a bountiful land not so far
away, the animal denizens lived quite happily.Then the colonisers
arrived. After nearly a hundred years, a bloody War of Liberation
brought new hope for the animals -- along with a new leader. A
charismatic horse who commanded the sun and ruled and ruled and
kept on ruling.For forty years he ruled, with the help of his elite
band of Chosen Ones, a scandalously violent pack of Defenders and,
as he aged, his beloved and ambitious young donkey wife,
Marvellous. But even the sticks and stones know there is no night
ever so long it does not end with dawn. And so it did for the Old
Horse, one day as he sat down to his Earl Grey tea and favourite
radio programme.A new regime, a new leader. Or apparently so. And
once again, the animals were full of hope .. . Glory tells the
story of a country seemingly trapped in a cycle as old as time.And
yet, as it unveils the myriad tricks required to uphold the
illusion of absolute power, it reminds us that the glory of tyranny
only lasts as long as its victims are willing to let it. History
can be stopped in a moment. With the return of a long-lost
daughter, a #freefairncredibleelection, a turning tide -- even a
single bullet.** A 2022 Book to Look Forward To in the Guardian,
