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 'Ben Okri is incapable of writing a
boring sentence' Independent on Sunday
