Fiela se kind
Fiela se kind | Dalene Matthee
5 posts | 4 read | 3 to read
Die driejarige seuntjie van Elias en Barta van Rooyen raak spoorloos weg in die Knysna-bos. In die Lange Kloof, anderkant die berg, ontferm Fiela Komoetie haar oor 'n "weggooilam" wat een nag voor haar deur kom huil. Die een kind is Lukas, die ander Benjamin. Is dit dieselfde kind? Die raaisel word nege jaar later oopgekrap deur twee sensusmanne wat die wit kind met die blou oe by 'n bruin gesin in die Lange Kloof kry."

This is still one of the best and most gripping stories I have ever read. Set in my home country, South Africa, it tells a tale of a young baby boy being left on the doorstep of Fiela's house. She raises him as her own, only to be ripped from her, 9 years later, as he is a white little boy.
Benjamin's life takes many turns with him new, white family, set in the Knysna woodlands. 10 stars

Book-mail arrived today. I decided to read the famous Fiela's Child and Circles in a Forest from Dalene Matthee in the original language Afrikaans.
So very excited 🤓💜

FIELA SE KIND (Fiela's Child) is one of the best books ever written and I love it so much! I own two copies of the movie and this week I was privileged to work as a stage manager at the Free State Arts festival on the stage production of it, with the original Fiela (Shaleen Surtie-Richards, who played Fiela in the movie) and I went all out fangirl! Featured above is my first edition copy of the book, now signed by the entire cast! K
