Book Description

Lucy has always had a volatile marriage, one marked with frequent splits and reconciliations. So when she takes her two young children, May and Eden, and walks out on her husband, no one expects it will be for good. Until she flees England for America.

In the serene, sunbathed California landscape, Lucy, May, and Eden begin to believe that this new country might offer them a chance to reconnect. But when they settle in the Parvati Ashram, what first seemed idyllic threatens to sever their already tenuous family ties.

Like most outsiders, May views the ashram as a cult, but her mother sees it as a place of healing and salvation. As Lucy is taken deeper into the confidence of their leader, May’s initial defenses are broken down by her friendship with the manipulative proselyte, Sati. Thoughts of England slowly begin to disappear as they settle into their new reality, where blind faith challenges human decency, testing the family’s loyalties and asking if a less-than-perfect but real life is better than a vacuous ideal.

With Tiger, Tiger, Craze explores the power and limitations of human desperation, hope, and resolve as she proves that true completeness does not come from the outside, but from within

5.0 out of 5 stars Quietly devastating, September 17, 2008
This review is from: Tiger, Tiger (Paperback)
I read this book without ever losing focus -- Craze writes with such quiet but persistent authority, detailing subtleties between mother and daughter, father and daughter, a girl and her mean teenage babysitter, brother and sister, a young girl and an egomaniacal guru -- and more. Scenes unfold beautifully, observations of nature and internal conflict flow seamlessly alongside the plot. Her beautiful writing can take a sidelong glace and make it communicate everything. The tone of the book, restrained and careful, gains in power as the chips come crashing down. This was a lovely and sad novel and I highly recommend it!

I bought this book yesterday and finished it today---and I absolutely loved it. Terrific sentences, alluring story, fascinating settings. I could have really followed her characters forever.

5.0 out of 5 stars This is my favorite book, July 8, 2011
This review is from: Tiger, Tiger (Paperback)
The title of my review says it all:
I can't really put my finger on exactly why, just the way it's written is so honest.
