WINNER OF THE ORANGE PRIZE FOR FICTION 'Not since Zadie Smith has a
young writer arrived with such power and grace' Time 'A marvel of
beauty and imagination' Ann Patchett A tiger escapes from the local
zoo, padding through the ruined streets and onwards, to a ridge
above the Balkan village of Galina. His nocturnal visits hold the
villagers in a terrified thrall - but for one boy, the tiger is a
thing of magic. Natalia is the granddaughter of that boy. Now a
doctor, she is visiting orphanages in the war-torn Balkans when she
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)
