Bøker av Ami Rao

Everything can seem possible on a London bus surrounded by strangers but the past lies in wait, ready to ambush thoughts and lives. You are on the 13, North London, heading for Boundary Road and no one is travelling light. Everyone has got something to share: love, desires, illusions and sometimes a touch of madness.

When a teenage girl dies in a car accident while returning home from school, her father is left to deal with his bereavement. In lyrical prose, Ami Rao experiments with language to explore grief, one of the most complex of human emotions. Inspired by the essays of Roland Barthes, this fragmented and philosophical novella is deeply moving.

A literary debut set In New York. Two people, from very different worlds, meet and fall in love. But when family members move to extremes, their love is tested.

Miraculously, and the word is not used lightly, he survived and defied medical thinking in recovering to the extent that eighteen months after his fall, he was able to saddle up for one more race. It is a story of triumph, fear, love and loss, by turns primal, heartbreaking and inspirational, and ultimately, it is the story of hope, and of life.
