Ramona Book Club: Fierceland by Omar Musa (SOLD OUT)
About
For May, Ramona Book Club is reading Fierceland, a blistering, genre-bending novel from Malaysian-Australian writer, poet and rapper Omar Musa. Winner of the 2026 Victorian Premier's Literary Award for Fiction, this is a powerful family saga, spanning 150 years and set across Malaysian Borneo, Australia and America. It's also part eco-fiction, with the forests being brutally wiped for palm oil in front of young siblings Roz and Harun.Written with the pulse and rhythm of Musa’s poetic roots, the novel is alive with voice, history and a searching kind of hope. It’s a novel that asks how we mourn when we know the terrible pasts of those closest to us, what does it mean to belong and what do we owe our homelands?
Join us for an evening of discussion over a glass of wine (or something softer) in the bookshop. Whether you’re new to book club or a long-time regular, you’re warmly invited to dive into this electrifying, conversation-starting read.
