The God Who Begat a Jackal

This is the second book and the first Novel from Nega Mezlekia Ethiopian - Canadian former agricultural engineer who become a writer. His first book "Notes From Hyna's Belly" a boyhood from JIJIGA at the time of Ethio Somali war make a world wide hit Getting Governor Generals award and also best African book on New York times.
I was able to read some pages of this book in which I found it too similar to the book by HADIS ALEMAYEHU'S "HADIS" .Feudalism and its effects on the society With strong character called ASTER......
