    Requiem for Potatoes

    Written by Adam Reta translated by Bethlehem Attfield

    Narrated by Bethlehem Attfield

    About this audiobook

    This amusing musical story is set on a farm where potatoes passionately discuss the meaning of life and death through chorus. The green potato is ostracised from the community for boldly standing against the wide held belief that their life is predestined and that death in service of nourishing humans is to be celebrated and welcome. Although the green potato manages to defy the self-sacrifice rule, will he succeed to completely evade fate within the food chain? This Ethiopian allegorical story is a social satire for young people's unwavering belief and reckless behaviour.
