The God Who Begat a Jackal is a strange beast. Set in the kingdom of Hararghe in eighteenth-century Abyssinia, it tells the story of a hopelessly riven feudal country where slavery, internecine wars, overlord-vassal conflict and unimaginable superstition have corroded the very fabric of humanity. In the middle of this strictly hierarchised society, the unthinkable happens: Aster, Count Ashenafi’s daughter, falls in love with Gudu, her father’s slave and court entertainer.
