The Girl and the Tiger

A Novel

De: Paul Rosolie

Narrado por: Deepti Gupta

Isha is a girl who loves animals but struggles in the confines of school. When she is sent away to live with her grandparents on the Indian countryside, she discovers a sacred grove where a young Bengal tiger has taken refuge. Isha knows that the ever-shrinking forests of India mean there are few places left for a tiger to hide. When the local villagers also discover the tiger, Isha finds herself embroiled in a life-or-death cultural controversy.

Isha’s crusade to save the tiger becomes the catalyst of an arduous journey of awakening and survival across the changing landscape of modernizing India. Her encounters with tribal people, elephants, and her search for the wild jungle are the source of her revelations about the human relationship to the natural world in a gripping story of determination, discovery, and coming of age.

Everyone should read this book.

I Have no words for how important and incredible I found this book. I am endlessly grateful to the author for giving a voice to the jungle and the creatures that call it home. I can only wish the masses had even an ounce of the courage of the characters to pick up this book and really hear the message. This book is full of ups and downs and I am so glad I was able to find the resilience to read past the first few chapters. I am a more courageous conservatory than I was when I first started this epic novel.

Powerful read.

This book made me laugh and more often, cry. The author did a great job painting a vivid and sometimes disturbing picture of the reality happening in India. A must read for animal lovers.
