Winner of the Booker Prize- "Claudia Hampton is dying in the hospital. She is a popular historian - clever and outspoken. Moon Tiger is her reflection on her own life..." (from the dustjacket).
Synopsis
Moon Tiger is a 1987 novel by Penelope Lively which spans the time before, during and after World War II. The novel won the 1987 Booker Prize. It is written from multiple points of view and moves backward and forward through time in ways which can be difficult to follow. It begins as the story of a woman who, on her deathbed, decides to write a history of the world, and develops into a story of love, incest and the desire to be recognized as an independent free thinking woman of the time.
