As Rich as the King
Translated by Natasha Lehrer
A coming of age tale and twisted love story, set amid the beaches, streets and mansions of Nineties Casablanca.
Sarah might be poor, but at least she's French, which allows her to attend Casablanca's elite high school.
It's there that she first lays eyes on Driss. He's not very good looking-apart from his eyes, which are the deep green of thyme simmering in a tagine - but the word is he's the richest guy in the city. Sarah decides she wants those eyes, and a life like his.
So begins a twisted, provocative love story that will see Sarah climbing Casa's social ladder, all the way from street-corner merguez and chips to poolside joints in a mansion overlooking the ocean.

Publishing has a diversity problem. There are less 'diverse' books being published which limits the discoverability and reach of those authors.
Representation is important. Read more about why we exist here.
An anti-racist social enterprise bookstore specialising in BIPOC books.
Only about 11% of books published are by BIPOC authors — so unless you specifically seek out books by BIPOC authors, you aren't likely to find very many of them organically. At Amplify, BIPOC authors are highlighted and celebrated. Here, they don't have to fight to be seen, and you don't have to fight to find them.
We hope that in our shop, you can discover a new favourite read, find stories that speak uniquely to you, learn about a culture outside your own (or more about your own histories), and gain a better understanding of the systems that connect us all.
