The Fisherman King by Kathrina Mohd Daud
5.0
A strange and beautiful book. The story is inspired by Bruneian folklore and history but is fictional. It tells the tale of a lost royal line, a doomed twins and a terrifying snake God, the Nabau, who has brought nothing but misery to the land and the people.
It has the feel of a folk tale. The underlying theme is love; love of the country, of a higher power and not least the love of a man and a woman who battle together to bring peace and prosperity back to their home.
A beautiful and often disturbing tale, beautifully told. Worthy of any true story teller. Highly recommended.
