Winner of the Man Booker Prize and Shortlisted for the Golden Man
Booker Prize The elderly Claudia Hampton, a best-selling author of
popular history; lies alone in a London hospital bed. Memories of
her life still glow in her fading consciousness, but she imagines
writing a history of the world. Instead, Moon Tiger is her own
history, the life of a strong, independent woman, with its often
contentious relations with family and friends. At its center --
forever frozen in time, the still point of her turning world -- is
the cruelly truncated affair with Tom, a British tank commander
whom Claudia knew as a reporter in Egypt during World War II.
