Tiger's Wife

Tiger's Wife

by Tea Obreht

In a Balkan country mending from war, Natalia, a young doctor, is compelled to unravel the mysterious circumstances surrounding her beloved grandfather’s recent death. Searching for clues, she turns to his worn copy of THE JUNGLE BOOK and the stories he told her of his encounters over the years with “the deathless man.” But most extraordinary of all is the story her grandfather never told her — the legend of the tiger’s wife.
