Description
Penelope Lively's Moon Tiger is a haunting tale of loss and desire. Claudia Hampton, a famous writer, lies dying in hospital, plotting her greatest work: 'a history of the world ... and in the process, my own'.
As she re-creates the rich mosaic of her life and times, she conjures up those she has known, including her adored brother, charming lover, and one great love. Lively weaves an exquisite mesh of memories, flashbacks, and shifting voices to create a story that will leave its traces in the air long after you've put it away.
This Penguin Modern Classics edition includes an introduction by Anthony Thwaite, offering further insight into this Booker Prize-winning novel. If you enjoyed Moon Tiger, you might like L.P. Hartley's The Go-Between, also available in Penguin Modern Classics.
