The Tiger's Wife by Téa ObrehtMy rating: 4 of 5 stars
This is a beautiful book with some flashes of genius in it. I have no doubt that Obreht will become one of the great authors of our time. This would be brilliant but it is almost as if Obreht is not confident that audiences will be happy with a simple modern myth (we would) and adds twists and surprises at the end of the story that frankly I don't think track. My personal opinion is that some circles should have been closed, even if that made the novel more predictable. To be clear, it is still immensely worth reading--imaginative, insightful, and intelligent--definitely worth a winter's afternoon or two.
