The Tiger’s Wife, Téa Obreht
(June 17) I really, really liked this novel -- I liked the magic realism of it, a style I always associated with South America but which is nonetheless perfectly suited to this ancient part of Europe. Some very lovely myths are entwined into the narrative. I was inspired to learn a lot about the Bosnian war. Also inspired to read The Jungle Book.
How many books with “wife” in the title have I read lately?

Not that many -- only three in the last five years. But it feels like there are a lot out there.
