- NATIONAL BOOK AWARD FINALIST - The instant classic debut novel from the author of Inland and The Morningside, hailed as "a thrilling beginning to what will certainly be a great literary career" (Elle)

"Spectacular . . . [Téa Obreht] spins a tale of such marvel and magic in a literary voice so enchanting that the mesmerized reader wants her never to stop."--Entertainment Weekly

"Not since Zadie Smith has a young writer arrived with such power and grace."--Time

ONE OF THE TEN BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR: Michiko Kakutani, The New York Times; Entertainment Weekly; The Christian Science Monitor; The Kansas City Star; Library Journal

In a Balkan country mending from war, Natalia, a young doctor, is compelled to unravel the mysterious circumstances surrounding her beloved grandfather's recent death. Searching for clues, she turns to his worn copy of The Jungle Book and the stories he told her of his encounters over the years with "the deathless man." But most extraordinary of all is the story her grandfather never told her--the legend of the tiger's wife.

Weaving a brilliant latticework of family legend, loss, and love, Téa Obreht, hailed by Colum McCann as "the most thrilling literary discovery in years," has spun a timeless novel that will establish her as one of the most vibrant, original authors of her generation.
