The Famished Road
Ben Okri
Follow the journey of Azaro, an abiku spirit child, as he navigates the space between life and death in Nigeria. Ben Okri's Famished Road, a Booker Prize-winning classic, weaves a vivid narrative with a unique perspective that has earned its place as an essential work of world literature. Set against a backdrop of political strife and temptations of a carefree spirit kingdom, Azaro's story is both tragic and uplifting.
