Octavia E. Butler
Sinossi
<i>Fledgling</i>, Octavia Butler's new novel after a seven year break, is the story of an apparently young, amnesiac girl whose alarmingly inhuman needs and abilities lead her to a startling conclusion: She is in fact a genetically modified, 53-year-old vampire. Forced to discover what she can about her stolen former life, she must at the same time learn who wanted - and still wants - to destroy her and those she cares for and how she can save herself. <i>Fledgling</i> is a captivating novel that tests the limits of "otherness" and questions what it means to be truly human.
