Introducing ...The Every Other Month Book Club

Starting Tuesday, February 21, 7pm at the store

Laurie and Kim will be here to discuss

Tea Obreht’s amazing novel The Tiger’s Wife

  

From Publishers Weekly:

Starred Review. The sometimes crushing power of myth, story, 

and memory is explored in the brilliant debut of Obreht, 

the youngest of the New Yorker's 20-under-40. Natalia Stefanovi,

 a doctor living (and, in between suspensions, practicing) in an 

unnamed country that's a ringer for Obreht's native Croatia, crosses 

the border in search of answers about the death of her beloved 

grandfather, who raised her on tales from the village he grew up in, 

and where, following German bombardment in 1941, a tiger escaped 

from the zoo in a nearby city and befriended a mysterious deaf-mute woman. 

 

Obreht is an expert at depicting history through aftermath, people through the 

love they inspire, and place through the stories that endure; the reflected world

 she creates is both immediately recognizable and a legend in its own right. 

Obreht is talented far beyond her years, and her unsentimental faith in

 language, dream, and memory is a pleasure. (Mar.) 

We request you get The Tiger’s Wife from RRBooks and read it before the                              first meeting.                                

                                           Call to sign up today.
