mdash 's review for:
Moon Tiger
by Penelope Lively
If only Penelope Lively had stuck with the love affair in the desert I might have enjoyed it as much as any novel about star-crossed romance during World War II. Instead, the introductory premise of a popular historian on her deathbed setting out to write a "history of the world" gives way to reminiscences about deliberately unpleasant personal circumstances and a poorly contextualized family drama bomb.
