OLDER FICTION
Michaelis, Antonia

Tiger Moon

(2) YA Translated by Anthea Bell. In nineteenth-century India, Safia awaits death at the hand of her cruel husband. She befriends a servant, Lalit, and tells him a story about a kidnapped princess and the thief recruited to rescue her. Michaelis weaves the most spectacular elements of Hindu mythology throughout the story to great effect. Witty dialogue contributes to the charm of this exotic fairy-tale fantasy.
