Set in Malaysian Borneo and moving between past and present, Fierceland follows siblings Rozana and Harun as they return home for their father Yusuf’s funeral and face what they have inherited. Musa writes the rainforest, the city and the family estate with crisp detail. The copy in your hands is a clean trade paperback with clear type and a firm spine, easy to read and easy to gift.
Across the novel you see how fortune was built and what it cost. Early logging upriver in the 1980s, the palm-oil boom, a disappearance that shadows every room, and adult children split between Sydney, Los Angeles and Kota Kinabalu. It reads like contemporary literary fiction with a strong sense of place and consequence.
