The Tiger's Wife by Tea Obreht 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.

The books are available behind the reference librarian desk. Let a staff member know if you need this book in Large Print.
