To say much more would risk giving too much of the plot away. Suffice to say that it is a disturbing and powerful read and one that is likely to remain with you for a while. Don’t pick it for action - it's slow and in plot terms relatively slight, but the beauty is in the execution of the story. It might even encourage you to pick up the phone to that elderly relative that you call all too infrequently.
Our grateful thanks to the kind folk at Sceptre Books for sending us this book. We also have a review of [[The High Places by Fiona McFarlane]].
Tigers are surprisingly prevalent in fiction. For more tiger featuring novels, check out [[Jamrach's Menagerie by Carol Birch]] and [[The Tiger's Wife by Tea Obreht]]. Both ended up on the literary award lists so it seems a good idea to include a tiger in your fiction. As another well-known member of that breed might say about all three books ''they're Grrrrrreat''. You might also appreciate [[Every Promise by Andrea Bajani]].
