The Tiger
The Tiger is a novel set in Java, the main
island of Indonesia: combining realistic description, mystery, and the supernatural, it is
a rich and complex novel. Nick and his family travel to Java for holidays and also to see
where his father was born: and get caught up in a mystery whose roots go back thirty years
before, to the troubled '60's in Indonesia. Launched by well-known novelist Christopher
Koch, this novel, which has been very popular and widely reviewed, gives an interesting
picture of Javanese culture, life and history.
Some comments:
"This is a lavish tale which offers a good mystery in a rich and vibrant
setting." - Reading Time, Australia
"The Tiger is an extraordinary account of Javanese culture which everyone ought to
read for its fictional story as much as for its mammoth effort to humanise a little-known
and often misjudged culture" - Lollipops magazine
"This is a well crafted and timely work.." - SCAN magazine"
