Téa Obreht
The Tiger's Wife (Random House, $25.00), is Téa Obreht debut novel and a finalist for the National Book Award. In it, a doctor living in an unnamed Central European country searches for answers about the death of her beloved grandfather, who raised her on tales from the village he grew up in, including a tiger that escaped from the zoo and befriended a mysterious deaf-mute woman. In its starred review, Booklist says, "Not even Obreht's place on the New Yorker's current "20 under 40" list of exceptional writers will prepare readers for the transporting richness and surprise of this gripping novel of legends and loss in a broken land."
