The Tiger’s Wife
Save A Tree - Buy Used at Second Sale Books
By Tea Obrecht
Set in seemingly modern day Yugoslavia the story follows Natalia who is searching for answers in her grandfather's death. Her search takes her back to her family's village and she learns much about the incredibly long and rich history of the people who have lived there for so many generations. The seemingly crazy superstitions and myths that dictate the lives of even modern day people there are amazing, especially for a native Californian, a place with such a young history. I can't imagine allowing the superstitions from 500 years ago to dictate my daily life!
