First Light Book Club: Tiger’s Wife

Hyde Park’s neighborhood bookstore continues its dedication to building community with its free book club, and this week the selected title is Téa Obreht’s The Tiger’s Wife. The award-winning 2011 novel, set in an unnamed Balkan state during the tumultuous and bloody 20th century, focused on the complex relationship between doctors and death, and drew on Obreht’s own family history. RSVPs help the organizers know how many booklovers to expect, with sessions at 4:30pm and 7pm. – Richard Whittaker
