The Tiger's Wife by Téa Obreht

4.0

I realize many reviewers, both here and elsewhere on the Internet, have criticized Tea Obreht's writing style as immature and overly precious and the stories within The Tiger's Wife as disjointed; maybe I'm feeling generous over the holidays, maybe I'm getting soft in middle age, but I thought the interweaving of Balkan folk tales with the real life effects of war in the region was a lovely way to show how people deal with death and destruction.
