The Famished Road Trilogy Books

Azaro, a "spirit-child" from a ghetto community in Africa, uses his instinctual memory from ancient times to see the hate and violence that keep his people trapped in poverty

From a reviewer: "This is a startling novel about different kinds of riches and different forms of power. It opens another chapter in the adventures of Azaro, the celebrated spirit-child of The Famished Road, winner of the Booker Prize. By turns thunderous and tender, it will resonate in the mind and heart of the reader for a long time."
