[Téa Obreht] spins a tale of such marvel and magic in a literary voice so enchanting that the mesmerized reader wants her never to stop."-- Entertainment Weekly "Not since Zadie Smith has a young writer arrived with such power and grace."-- Time ONE OF THE TEN BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR: Michiko Kakutani, The New York Times; Entertainment Weekly; The Christian Science Monitor; The Kansas City Star; Library Journal 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. Weaving a brilliant latticework of family legend, loss, and love, Téa Obreht, hailed by Colum McCann as "the most thrilling literary discovery in years," has spun a timeless novel that will establish her as one of the most vibrant, original authors of her generation.

Stunning . . . a richly textured and searing novel. Michiko Kakutani, "The New York Times" Spectacular . . . [Tea Obreht] spins a tale of such marvel and magic in a literary voice so enchanting that the mesmerized reader wants her never to stop. [Grade: ] A "Entertainment Weekly" [Obreht] has a talent for subtle plotting that eludes most writers twice her age, and her descriptive powers suggest a kind of channeled genius. . . . No novel [this year] has been more satisfying. "The Wall Street Journal" Filled with astonishing immediacy and presence, fleshed out with detail that seems firsthand, "The Tiger s Wife "is all the more remarkable for being the product not of observation but of imagination. "The New York Times Book Review" That "The Tiger s Wife" never slips entirely into magical realism is part of its magic. . . . Its graceful commingling of contemporary realism and village legend seems even more absorbing. "The Washington Post" "" So rich with themes of love, legends and mortality that every novel that comes after it this year is in peril of falling short in comparison with its uncanny beauty. "Time" Mesmerizing . . . [Tea] Obreht s striking ability to explain the world through stories is matched by her patience with the parts of life and death that endlessly confound us. "The Boston Globe" Makes for a thrilling beginning to what will certainly be a great literary career. "Elle" A compelling, persuasive writer, Obreht brings improbable elements to life on the page. Better, she makes them snap together with such magical skill that even the skeptical reader believes. "Chicago Sun-Times" In Obreht s expert hands, the novel s mythology, while rooted in a foreign world, comes to be somehow familiar, like the dark fairy tales of our own youth, the kind that spooked us into reading them again and again.

Great seller. I reached out to seller a week after my delivery date(Feb 12). Item was in my town, then wasn't being scanned for a couple days and then ended up in a town not my own and then it wasn't scanned anymore. Looks like USPS definitely lost my package smh and it sucks that they do that. Thank you for the refund. :)
