The Tiger's Wife by Téa Obreht

An absorbing book - with shades of magical realism in the way Obreht uses myths and stories to illuminate the narrator's  own more down-to-earth approach to life in the Balkans just after the wars of the 1990s.

Another book in which the relationship between grandchild and grandparent is vital.
