The Poacher's Daughter

di Godfrey Malibe (Autore)

Godfrey Malibe, 2021

Dicks Mahlakwane has turned a new leaf - he has traded his Poacher's arsenal for the Bible. But it will take more than just being a born-again Christian for the nit-picking community of Buffelshoek to embrace the ex-poacher as a reformed man. It is not just the community of Buffelshoek who have an axe to grind with the notorious ex-poacher. It seems his faceless enemies also prefer him dead. He is murdered, his death rattling his wife Dimakatso so much she also dies of heartbreak. This leaves their children, 16-year-old Mmanaka and her younger brother under the 'care' of the wayward aunt Molly, whose parenting skills can be likened to a rat's. The siblings practically raise themselves, leaving Mmanaka at the mercy of boys titillated by the onset of puberty, and older men lusting over her young body merely as punishment for her father's sins. Mmanaka"s life soon becomes a story of shame, hope and a desperate need for victory over tragedy. The Poacher's daughter is Godfrey Malibe's third book but his debut in fiction. He has delivered a pulse-pounding novel full of suspense and sharp wit, each chapter leaving the reader with a heart-racing cliffhanger. "Godfey Malibe's Poacher's Daughter is an achingly poignant rollercoaster packed with dynamic characters across the pages. He weaves each scene with unwavering finesse, leaving the reader with a cliffhanger at the end of each chapter, which means you will never get respite from the action. The easy, fluent and effortless way in which he writes vividly depicts the characters' joy, their fears and constant ebbs and flows." Thokozani Magagula Author & Founder of PUBLISH'D AFRIKA.
