**SHORTLISTED FOR THE GOLDEN MAN BOOKER PRIZE** Claudia Hampton -
beautiful, famous, independent, dying. But she remains defiant to
the last, telling her nurses that she will write a 'history of the
world . . . and in the process, my own'. And it is her story from a
childhood just after the First World War through the Second and
beyond. But Claudia's life is entwined with others and she must
allow those who knew her, loved her, the chance to speak, to put
across their point of view. There is Gordon, brother and adversary;
Jasper, her untrustworthy lover and father of Lisa, her cool
conventional daughter; and then there is Tom, her one great love,
found and lost in wartime Egypt. Moon Tiger is a haunting story of
loss and desire. 'Leaves its traces in the air long after you've
put it away' Anne Tyler 'A complex tapestry of great subtlety.
Lively writes so well, savouring the words as she goes' Daily
Telegraph 'Lively's ability to bring her character and the world
she inhabits into full technicolour is beautiful. This is a unique
book about a fascinating unpredictable woman way ahead of her time
and yet absolutely of her time' Lemn Sissay
