About this product

Product Information

As Natalia and a friend travel across the former Yugoslavia, immunising villagers, the body of her grandfather turns up in a hospital in the middle of nowhere. She and her family have no idea why. Recalling stories he told her as a child, she becomes convinced that he went in search of the Deathless Man, a mythical figure, that her grandfather claimed to have met a number of times in his life. In her quest to find out how her grandfather, a man of hard fact and science, could turn to this fantasy, she discovers something particular about his childhood: a tiger escaped from a zoo during World War II bombings and wandered deep into the woods, settling just outside his peasant village. It terrorised the town, the devil incarnate to everyone, except for her grandfather and 'the tiger's wife'...

Two major stories from her grandfather's life are shared: That of the tiger's wife and that of the deathless man. The tiger's wife is a deaf mute women who he knew growing up in a remote village, before he left to become a doctor.
