Publisher's Synopsis
NATIONAL BOOK AWARD FINALIST NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER
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 incredible stories he told her of his encounters over the years with "the deathless man," a vagabond who claimed to be immortal. But the most extraordinary story of all is the one her grandfather never told her, the one Natalia must discover for herself-the legend of the tiger's wife.
