Description - Moon Tiger by Penelope Lively

A stylish reissue of the Booker Prize-winning, Golden Booker Prize-shortlisted classic- now with a new introduction by Elif Shafak

Claudia Hampton - beautiful, famous, independent, dying.

But she remains defiant to the last, telling her nurses that she will write a 'history of the world . . . and in the process, my own'. And it is her story from a childhood just after the First World War through the Second and beyond. But Claudia's life is entwined with others and she must allow those who knew her, loved her, the chance to speak, to put across their point of view. There is Gordon, brother and adversary; Jasper, her untrustworthy lover and father of Lisa, her cool conventional daughter; and then there is Tom, her one great love, found and lost in wartime Egypt.

The masterpiece of one of the century's finest novelists, Moon Tiger is a haunting, evocative and dazzlingly original story of loss and desire - now with a new introduction by Elif Shafak.
