A review by alisonhori
The Tiger's Wife by Téa Obreht

4.0

This one was a mixed bag for me..if I could give it 3.5 stars, I would. This books is a series of different stories written from different perspectives and in different styles...some of them I liked very much, some of them didn't work for me at all. Some of the tales were quite haunting and beautiful but overall, I am not sure how they all hang together as a cohesive total at all. In particular, the story of the Tiger's Wife didn't really speak to me at all and since the book is so named, I feel as if I have missed the big picture somehow...if the book had been named for the Deathless Man, I would feel less removed from it, I think...I am looking forward to the book club discussion of this book.
