The Night Tiger: The Reese Witherspoon Book Club Pick
“The two main characters will captivate you as their paths are destined to cross… you won`t be able to put this one down!” Reese WitherspoonThey say a tiger that devours too many humans can take the form of a man and walk among us… In 1930s colonial Malaya, a dissolute British doctor receives a surprise gift of an eleven-year-old Chinese houseboy. Sent as a bequest from an old friend, young Ren has a mission: to find his dead master`s severed finger and reunite it with his body. Ren has forty-nine days, or else his master`s soul will roam the earth forever. Ji Lin, an apprentice dressmaker, moonlights as a dancehall girl to pay her mother`s debts. One night, Ji Lin`s dance partner leaves her with a gruesome souvenir that leads her on a crooked, dark trail. As time runs out for Ren`s mission, a series of unexplained deaths occur amid rumours of tigers who turn into men. In their journey to keep a promise and discover the truth, Ren and Ji Lin`s paths will cross in ways they will never forget.Captivating and lushly written, `The Night Tiger` explores the rich world of servants and masters, ancient superstition and modern ambition, sibling rivalry and unexpected love. Woven through with Chinese folklore and a tantalizing mystery, this novel is a page-turner of the highest order.”An exuberant medley of magic, romance and weirdness” The Times
