Critics Review
Fierce, elegant and compelling as the tiger itself, this is less a novel than the very force of nature caught in fiction. Grabbed me by the imagination and carried me into the wilds of animal and human nature. - Laline Paull, author of The Bees
Visceral … exotic … An impassioned celebration of second chances - Daily MailUnsettling, immersive … A startling, gore-splattered, nerve-racking exploration of how human and animal territories - both physical and psychic - collide … Combining the propulsiveness of a thriller with the raw yet meditative tone of a memoir, Clark writes with a poet’s ear and a naturalist’s eye, and has a deep grasp of the profound contract between indigenous peoples and the beasts they revere. She never loses sight of the endangered creature that forms the beating heart of a passionate, remarkable and uplifting novel. - GuardianElectrifying - one to watch - BooksellerA gorgeously written and unique novel that plunges the reader right into a vividly described natural world - Good HousekeepingA captivating walk on the wild side - HeatAbout The Author
