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. She is compelled to learn all she can about her stolen past life, but she also has to figure out who has attempted and continues to attempt to harm her, the people she loves, and how to rescue herself. The intriguing book Fledgling explores the boundaries of "otherness" and what it means to be a true human.
