Synopsis

SHORTLISTED FOR THE JHALAK PRIZE
A compelling blend of comedy and tragedy, this literary novel follows colliding lives, beguiling opportunities, and reckless illusions on a single London transit route.
Welcome to the number thirteen bus, heading for Boundary Road.
As passengers step on and off, they leave fragments of their lives behind, shifting into a giddy cocktail of monologues, dialogues, and raw memories. It is amazing what people will confess to total strangers. On this journey, the unsayable trips off the tongue―sprinkled with quiet melancholy or sudden, sharp blades of aggression.
While most passengers accept whatever life offers, others react with dangerous determination. Among them:

• A charming man haunted by his family history, deeply in love with the present but running from a secret that is about to catch up with him.
• A woman stifled by a lack of affection, quietly determined to do what is right.
• A man obsessed with architecture and hopelessly in love with a painting.

For most, the ride is simply a liberating chance to exchange confidences. But for two passengers, this specific journey will force an inescapable reckoning, changing their lives forever.

A propos du livre

À propos de l'auteur

Ami is an award winning British-American writer who has lived and worked in Asia, Europe, North America and the Caribbean. Home, most recently for her, was North London where she lived for many years, taking the Number 13 bus for her daily commute. Boundary Road was inspired by her love of London: its multiculturalism, its melancholy, its magnificent madness. When she is not writing, Ami can be found reading, listening to classical music or dabbling in jazz. Ami has a BA in English Literature from Ohio Wesleyan University and an MBA from Harvard. Boundary Road is her fourth work.
