'Moon Tiger' by Penelope Lively

Join us to discuss Moon Tiger by Penelope Lively — Booker Prize winner (1987) and Golden Man Booker Prize-shortlisted classic (50th anniversary “best of the winners” shortlist).

Claudia Hampton—famous, independent, dying—announces she’ll write a “history of the world… and, in the process, my own.”

From a childhood after WWI through WWII and beyond, she reconstructs her life through shifting memories and voices: Gordon (brother and rival), Jasper (lover), Lisa (daughter), and Tom—her great love, found and lost in wartime Egypt. Haunting, evocative, and dazzlingly original.
