The Tiger's Wife
by Tea Obreht
4/5 stars
⭐⭐⭐⭐
The Tiger's Wife at its heart is the story of Natalia and her grandfather.
Within that construct are several "folk-tale" type stories that the grandfather has told Natalia.
I really enjoyed this book and found that the story drew me in.
I love the story of the deathless man, and how it was woven throughout the book.
I would have liked to have known where exactly the story was supposed to be taking place.
Another review mentioned Belgrade.
I'm not super familiar with eastern European geography,
so it was a bit of a blur to me.
I'm also not sure why the author chose to title this the Tiger's Wife.
Obviously, it's one of the tales, but it was unclear to me why that title.
The bond between Natalia and her grandfather was so sweet, and I would have liked to have heard more about that as well. Overall, a very enjoyable book.
