A moving story of courage, self discovery, and love Fiela's Child is a fascinating story set in South Africa circa the 1800s. The story follows an orphaned white child who becomes adopted by an African family. At the age of nine he is taken away from is parents and forced to live in the Forest (a treacherous jungle) with an inept and lazy white family. As the boy grows up he confronts his own insecurities about where his future and past truly lie. The book is painted with beautiful and descriptive story and the characters have a closly intertwined relationship with the nature that surrounds them. Fiela's Child by Dalene Mathee is a quick and exciting read and the plot twist at the end is a tasteful surprise and a bit of a shock. I would personally recomend the novel for any teenagers and adults who are interested in what will surly be a classic novel.
