About Good Fortune's Children

Janvier Chouteu-Chando's Fortune's Children is the gripping story of a mixed-race German who escapes Nazi rule and seeks refuge in French Cameroun, and then leads his father's family and Business Empire through Africa's most brutal colonial war that historians describe as 'France's Hidden war in Africa". When Hans Wette escapes Nazi Germany and joins his father Josef Nana Njike in Africa, he is oblivious to the extent of his father's vision. Not until the African legend dies and Hans and his siblings inherit his legacy, do they find that his fortune and vision conflict with French colonial interests and the political system they put in place in Francophone Africa. The descendants of the legend go through love and betrayal, friendship and sibling rivalry, successes and failures, births and deaths, marriages and divorces, war and grief, with a determination to stay united and carry on their father's legacy. However, the vicious attacks against Josef Nana Njike's ideas, his ideals and the dynasty he founded push the family to the brink of extinction, and force Hans to lead his father's descendants to a new sanctuary that still fills him with trepidation. "Good Fortune's Children" is the third book in the "Disciples of Fortune" trilogy, which also comprises "Master of Good Fortune", and "Good Fortune calls".
