Fledgling
Author: Octavia E. Butler
Desc: Fledgling 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. Fledgling is a captivating novel that tests the limits of "otherness" and questions what it means to be truly human.
