receives word of her beloved grandfather's death, far from their
home, in circumstances shrouded in mystery. Compelled to unravel
the truth, Natalia stumbles upon a clue that will lead her to a
tattered copy of The Jungle Book, and then to the most
extraordinary story her grandfather never told her - the legend of
the tiger's wife. One of the most BRILLIANT (Sunday Times)
