Fiela Se Kind by Dalene Matthee

n Roman oor die stryd om 'n kind

Set in the late 19th century in South Africa, this poignant tale explores themes of identity, belonging, and racial tensions. The story follows a young boy, Benjamin, who is found by a loving Coloured woman, Fiela, and raised as her own in the arid Karoo. However, when authorities discover him, they claim he is a white child who went missing years ago and forcibly return him to his biological family in the Knysna forest. Torn between two worlds, Benjamin struggles to reconcile his past with his present, questioning where he truly belongs and who he really is.
