Narrative To Books Tiger Moon

Fate brings together a talking tiger, a doomed princess, and a rascally thief in a thrilling, old-fashioned tale from an exciting, internationally acclaimed new talent.

How does a story of India begin?

Does it begin with the three rivers—the Ganges, the Yamuna, the unseen Sarasvati pouring her dreaming waters down from the snowy mountains to the hot, dry plain?

Like other great storytellers of India, newcomer Antonia Michaelis weaves a tale that is grand in spirit and earthy in humor. She introduces the young thief Farhad, master of many disguises but not of his own heart, who, with the help of a sarcastic tiger, must save a Hindu princess from marriage to a demon king. It is the unlikely friendship between boy and tiger, and the sacrifice their journey demands, that is the soul of this lushly told, beautifully felt novel.

Original review posted on The Book SmugglersWarning: this review contains spoilers, SmuggleRAGE and Caps Lock of FuryTrigger warning: rapeSet in magical India, Tiger Moon pays homage to Arabian Nights and Scheherazade by featuring a story within a story. Raka, a young bride married against her will to a powerful merchant who will surely kill her once he discovers she is not a virgin, tells a tale of rescue to a young servant boy (a eunuch, who is not actually a eunuch) called Lalit. She tells



I found this book browsing in the library and was intrigued. Based on the plot and the first few pages I thought it strange it was in the YA section when it seemed more like a children's book. I soon discovered that YA is appropriate, and one scene in particular would belong more in the adult books. But this book, though I thought it dragged on a bit, was a charming love story of India that I enjoyed.

On the one hand, this was kind of a beautiful story! Fiction becomes reality, words bring life, the princess is saved, heroes are born, and all is well in the end. And it's not at all a predictable story, either, which is kind of unusual these days. BUT. The characters are likeable, not lovable. And the action is...action and not suspense. I didn't feel like I ever truly CARED about the outcome for individual characters, just for where Michaelis was going with this story--the big picture. There

A beautiful young girl is sold into marriage with a cruel sheik and carried away from her beloved desert. Waiting to be killed when he discovers that she is not a virgin, Raka tells her a young eunuch the story of a poor thief who must rescue Krishna's daughter from a demon who wants to marry her.The cover is a bit misleading, as the character is supposed to be older -- in fact, there is some casual sex which I wasn't expecting from a YA book. I wavered between 3 and 4 stars on this one but

This book was written as an Indian epic folktale. We have an unsuspected hero who starts out as a theif and is given the mission to save Krishna's (the Hindu god of love and some other things I can't remember just now) daughter from an evil demon king. That is the story within the story because the main character, a girl from the dessert is telling this story to her future husband's servant/eunuch, which reminds me of Arabian Nights where, if i remember correctly, the new wife tells her husband,

I was not expecting very much out of this book and it surprised me. The author is a German woman who spent a while in India. She writes about it with the enchantment of the outsider. The story is fast-paced, engaging, a kind of fairy tale in which the power of transforming virtue, trust, friendship, and love drive the plot. A young woman is sold in marriage to a powerful Rajah, who becomes ill before consummating their marriage. In terror for her life, because she is not a virgin, she tells a
