Saleh'If ever there has been a Great Bornean Novel, Omar Musa's Fierceland is it. Borneo writes back in these pages, offering up a breathtaking, heartbreaking, headspinning reply to decades of Malayan supremacy and erasure. But Fierceland is more than simple polemic: it is a wild, poetic, ride, both lyrical and pyrotechnical, through the light and the darkness of a family and all its histories. Vehemently, furiously, it asks the great timeless questions: what does it mean to belong to a place? What do we owe our homelands? What do they owe us? Who gets to take, and who must give?' - Preeta Samasaran Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.
