The Tiger's Wife

Author: Téa Obreht

In a war-torn Balkan country, young doctor Natalia grapples with her grandfather’s mysterious death. As she unravels his past, she discovers two peculiar tales: one of a deathless man who cheats fate, and another of a deaf-mute girl who befriends a tiger escaped from a zoo. Obreht’s lyrical prose weaves folklore and reality, exploring the power of storytelling in the face of loss. A haunting debut that lingers long after the final page.

When your fight has purpose—to free you from something, to interfere on behalf of an innocent—it has a hope of finality. When the fight is about unraveling—when it is about your own life—then it has no end.
