This ‘famished Road” totally sparked me. Its an African tale filled with tradition, and creatures of the spiritual world. The story traces the life of Lazarus, a boy gifted with the power to see and engage in the African spirit world. The author takes his audience on the journey with Lazarus, as walks a very hungry road that is Nigeria filled with poverty, corruption and diseases yet also rich in many other ways. This book was filled with, surreal magical creatures, which made it interesting for me. This story actually made me think about Magical Realism in my country. I can relate to this story because growing up, some of these things do occur in third world country. Its called voodoo, where people are given a gift to speak with the dead
