Praise for Moon Tiger
"A superb and unusually gifted writer . . . [She has] an extraordinary facility with words, structural and narrative daring, and imagery so apposite it can make your heart ache. " --
The Guardian "A powerful, moving and beautifully wrought novel about the ways in which lives are molded by personal memory and the collective past." --
Boston Globe"Lively belongs to a chort of brilliant female novelists who defined the fiction culture of postwar Britain . . . [
Moon Tiger is] an elegant disquisition on memory, identity, age, love, and regret." --
Financial Times
"Emotionally,
Moon Tiger is kaleidoscopic, deeply satisfying. The all too brief encounter between Claudia and Tom will surely rate as one of the most memorable of contemporary fictional affairs. This is one of the best novels I have read for years." --
The London Sunday Telegraph"It pulls us in; it engages us and saddens us. It is also unexpectedly funny . . . It leaves its traces in the air long after you've put it away." --
The New York Times Book Review"Lively's ability to bring her characters and the world she inhabits into full technicolor is beautiful . . . A unique book." --
Lemn Sissay, Golden Booker Prize Judge
