Description
Fiction. A Jesuit priest caught between his love and his calling. A man-eating tiger deep in the Indian jungle. A professional photographer with a turbulent past. Can any of them—including the tiger—tame his memories?
"Gorgeous, odd, and tough."—Ann Arensburg
"Like her masterly debut novel, MANKILLER, Ashley Mayne's new book, TIGER, is a tale of unconventional passion. Texas was memorably evoked in MANKILLER; now TIGER takes off around the world, from New England to India and back, via Mexico, Cyprus and New York. What these places have in common are the main characters, a priest and his beloved, who share a tigerish, tormented love. A real tiger awaits in India, and with him the most astounding encounter of this brilliant book. A born novelist, Mayne is one of the most richly gifted and assured new writers we have, a true tiger."—Roll Magazine
"TIGER is a novel of such vivacity, authority and complexity that you would never guess its author could be at the start of her career. Ashley Mayne creates a universe of intrigue, sensuality and psychological richness; of deities and wild beasts, of Jesuit fervor and primal urges, all played out on an international canvas, driven by a plot that never flags. Even without a tiger in the middle, this is that rarest of artifacts: a literary page turner. Open it up; I guarantee you won't be able to stop."—Mary Caponegro, author of All Fall Down
