About the Book

Set in the Knysna forest and the Karoo, this story follows a young boy who is raised by Fiela Komoetie, a strong and loving woman who believes him to be her own.

When officials arrive and question his origins, the boy is removed from the only family he has ever known and placed with another family in the forest — a place filled with hardship and uncertainty.

As he grows older, he is forced to confront questions of identity, loyalty, and where he truly belongs.

Rich in atmosphere and emotional depth, this novel is widely regarded as one of the most important works in South African literature.
