Description
Moon Tiger is a haunting story of loss and desire, told from the perspective of Claudia Hampton, a woman who remains defiant to the last as she approaches the end of her life. She recounts her life from a childhood just after the First World War through the Second and beyond, weaving a complex tapestry of memories and experiences.
As Claudia's story unfolds, the lives of those who knew her - her brother, her lover, her daughter - begin to emerge, each with their own perspective and point of view. Through her narrative, Penelope Lively explores the intricate web of relationships and desires that shape our lives.
This poignant and evocative novel has left a lasting impression on many readers, its subtlety and nuance continuing to resonate long after it is finished. With its masterful storytelling and vivid prose, Moon Tiger is a powerful exploration of the human experience.
