Moon Tiger is a gorgeous, sprawling novel about one woman who never hesitated to write her own way through history. Claudia's life has taken her from the English seaside, the Egyptian deserts of World War II, the Central American jungles to the cusp of death. This final place is the setting for her journey through that past and that of the entire known world. A love story and a forceful fictional memoir, Moon Tiger will always remain on my shelf of favorites.
