Weaving a brilliant latticework of family legend, loss, and love, Téa Obreht, the youngest of The New Yorker’s twenty best American fiction writers under forty, has spun a timeless novel that will establish her as one of the most vibrant, original authors of her generation.

In a Balkan country mending from years of conflict, Natalia, a young doctor, arrives on a mission of mercy at an orphanage by the sea. By the time she and her lifelong friend Zóra begin to inoculate the children there, she feels age-old superstitions and secrets gathering everywhere around her. Secrets her outwardly cheerful hosts have chosen not to tell her. Secrets involving the strange family digging for something in the surrounding vineyards. Secrets hidden in the landscape itself.

But Natalia is also confronting a private, hurtful mystery of her own: the inexplicable circumstances surrounding her beloved grandfather’s recent death. After telling her grandmother that he was on his way to meet Natalia, he instead set off for a ramshackle settlement none of their family had ever heard of and died there alone. A famed physician, her grandfather must have known that he was too ill to travel. Why he left home becomes a riddle Natalia is compelled to unravel.

Grief struck and searching for clues to her grandfather’s final state of mind, she turns to the stories he told her when she was a child. On their weeklytrips to the zoo he would read to her from a worn copy of Rudyard Kipling’s The Jungle Book, which he carried with him everywhere; later, he told her stories of his own encounters over many years with “the deathless man,” a vagabond who claimed to be immortal and appeared never to age. But the most extraordinary story of all is the one her grandfather never told her, the one Natalia must discover for herself. One winter during the Second World War, his childhood village was snowbound, cut off even from the encroaching German invaders but haunted by another, fierce presence: a tiger who comes ever closer under cover of darkness. “These stories,” Natalia comes to understand, “run like secret rivers through all the other stories” of her grandfather’s life. And it is ultimately within these rich, luminous narratives that she will find the answer she is looking for.

我喜欢这本书,不仅因为它讲了好故事,还因为它又让我想起了我爷。 小的时候有一首歌,“穿起了大头皮鞋,想起了我的爷爷……”,我爷就有大头皮鞋,走路咚咚咚。可惜现在大头皮鞋不流行了,我也穿不着,所以没能像唱歌的那人那样总是想起爷。记得这歌还是在我家的VCD功放机上...

面对悲剧的人生,彻底的抗争才是改变命运的唯一出路 坦率讲,我对南斯拉夫,对波黑战争了解甚少。甚至得老实承认,我是在读这本书的过程中,因为对书中描写的“新边境”、“那地方已经不再属于我们国家”、“战争”、“轰炸”、“地雷”想有更多的理...

The Tiger’s Wife is a book full of controversies, which to some extent make this book more interesting. The controversies lie between the various relationships: family members, villagers who live together, people who are from different countries, and h...
