A very short story set during a violent revolution.
This one touches on the experiences of one family during these horrible times when the revolution is really felt by all and the things they have to do to survive.
I really enjoyed the writing style and the author has vast talent, my only minor complaint is that I wanted a lot more of it. The story is just too short for me to form a stronger opinion.

The Tiger Came to the Mountains was a good story that has a nostalgic feel the way it was told. The audible narrator Selma Hayek was a perfect choice to voice it. Book tells the horrors and reality of wartime life for people left in villages. It is heartbreaking for anyone, especially a child to witness such thing. Innocence is definitely lost. "Some men end up on coins and bills, but that does not make them saints." So true. I like how she discussed her brother. You can tell she cares about him a lot. The tiger attack was quick, but pivotal for the entire book. Good story.

“What is godhood against the need of a child to save her brother? Nothing, I tell you.”
Damn.
Just damn.
It’s rich and beautiful and thrilling and dark and the perfect length as a novella.
Too good to explain. It just hits the spot.
CW: violence, animal death/murder, death of loved ones, grief, recurring yet brief references to past sexual violence/rape/kidnapping
