Winner of the Man Booker Prize and Shortlisted for the Golden Man Booker Prize

"One of the very best Booker winners ever." --The Guardian

The elderly Claudia Hampton, a best-selling author of popular history; lies alone in a London hospital bed. Memories of her life still glow in her fading consciousness, but she imagines writing a history of the world. Instead, Moon Tiger is her own history, the life of a strong, independent woman, with its often contentious relations with family and friends. At its center -- forever frozen in time, the still point of her turning world -- is the cruelly truncated affair with Tom, a British tank commander whom Claudia knew as a reporter in Egypt during World War II.
Industry Reviews
"A powerful, moving and beautifully wrought novel about the ways in which lives are molded by personal memory and the collective past." --Boston Globe "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
