The cover of a book called Moon Tiger by Penelope Lively.

Fell headfirst into this 1987 Booker Prize-winning novel and emerged gasping with wonder.
An enthralling story of a complex woman spiced with thought-provoking meditations on the nature of history, and history writing.

Utterly immersed in an old copy of #PenelopeLively #PassingOn, given to me by a thoughtful pal. What an incredible observer of human motives and family dynamics she is. Beautifully written, weighted and paced too. Sheer perfection!
