Overview
“A powerful, moving and beautifully wrought novel about the ways in which lives are molded by personal memory and the collective past.”—Boston Globe
Winner of the Booker Prize • Shortlisted for the Golden Man Booker Prize
The masterpiece of one of the century’s finest novelists—a deftly crafted journey through memory and across decades, between England and Egypt—now featuring a new foreword
Elderly, uncompromising Claudia Hampton lies in a London hospital bed with memories of life fluttering through her fading consciousness. An author of popular history, Claudia proclaims she’s carrying out her last project: a history of the world. This history turns out to be a mosaic of her own life and the lives of those important to her. At its center is Tom—her one great love, found and lost in war-torn Egypt.
Always the independent woman, often with contentious relationships, Claudia’s personal history is complex and fascinating. As people visit Claudia, they shake and twist the mosaic, changing speed, movement, and voice to reveal themselves and Claudia’s impact on their world.
A classic of the late 20th century, Moon Tiger is a haunting, evocative, and dazzlingly original story of loss and desire.
