Meer info
The Tiger's Wife is the debut novel of American writer Téa Obreht. It was published in 2011 by Weidenfeld & Nicolson, a British imprint of Orion Books, in the United Kingdom and by Random House in the United States.[2] Set in mid 20th-century to early 21st-century Balkans, it explores inter-generational dynamics between members of a medical family, and how they were involved in several wars throughout the timeframe.
Obreht won the 2011 Orange Prize for Fiction for The Tiger's Wife,[3] becoming the youngest winner of the prize to date, at age 25.[3] The novel was finalist for the National Book Award for Fiction[4] and the Dylan Thomas Prize.[5]
The Tiger's Wife is set in an unnamed country in the Balkans, spanning the mid 20th-century to the early 21st century. It features a young doctor's relationship with her grandfather and the stories he tells her. Her grandfather retells stories about the "deathless man" who meets him several times in different places and who doesn't die, regardless of the danger he faces; and a deaf-mute girl from his childhood village who befriends a tiger that has escaped from a nearby zoo.
