THE TIGER´S WIFE

Set in war-torn Yugoslavia, a young doctor strives to unravel the mystery of her grandfather's death, and to understand why, in his last days, he went looking for a mythical figure called 'the Deathless Man'. THE TIGER'S WIFE is a tale steeped in local fables and driven by one woman's experience of the never-ending violence that swept the Balkans. Tea Obrecht is a spectacular writer reminiscent of Marquez and Allende. She combines startling prose and an unputdownable story to create an intriguing drama set against the backdrop of a ruined and divided country.
