“Part mystery, part folk tale, The Tiger’s Wife is simply one of the best books I’ve read. Natalia is a young doctor searching for an explanation to the mysterious circumstances of her grandfather’s death, and recalls stories he told her when she was a child about his encounters with “the deathless man.” Interspersed with stories of her grandfather’s childhood before WWII and the young woman known as The Tiger’s Wife who lives in his village, Obreht has woven a wholly original story and cast of characters together to create an inventive novel you won’t soon forget.” -Vroman's Head Book Buyer, Sherri Gallentine
