Amara Osei

"I write to remember the places my body has forgotten — the rivers, the markets, the verandahs where stories were first told aloud."

Ghanaian-British novelist whose debut, The Garden of Endings, was longlisted for the Booker Prize. She writes about diaspora, botanical memory, and the architecture of longing. Her second novel is forthcoming from Folio & Ink Press in Spring 2026.
