Journey between the land of the Living and the spirit world in this magical Booker Prize-winning novel'So long as we are alive, so long as we feel, so long as we love, everything in us is an energy we can use'
Azaro, is a spirit child, who in many traditions of Nigeria exists between life and death. Born into a difficult world, Azaro awakens with a smile on his face. Despite belonging to a spirit world made of enchantment, where there is no suffering, Azaro chooses to stay in the land of the Living: to feel it, endure it, know it and love it. This is his story.
'In a magnificent feat of sustained imaginative writing, Okri spins a tale that is epic and intimate at the same time. The Famished Road rekindled my sense of wonder. It made me, at age 50, look at the world through the wide eyes of a child' Michael Palin
'This is a book to generate apostles. People will be moved and, with stars in their eyes, will pass on the word'Time Out
