The Tiger and the Acrobat

'This book is a beaut.' * Cecelia Ahern, author of P.S. I Love You * 'Enhanced by enchanting pencil illustrations, best-selling Italian writer Tamaro’s beguiling parable is a paean to the power of friendship and a testament to the resiliency of the individual spirit, whatever form the body takes.' * Booklist * 'Susanna Tamaro's prose is soft and welcoming while still indulging in the fantastical, which illuminates and enlivens this testament to the beauty and power of nature and innocence.' * World Literature Today * 'Slim but powerful, The Tiger and the Acrobat is rich with reflections on purpose and meditations on what it means to be oneself.' * Shelf Awareness * 'Joyful and profound.' * Il Piccolo * 'Clear, razor-sharp prose.' * Corriere della Sera * 'A poetic and luminous modern fairy tale, imbued with love, tenderness, passion for life…an ode to the human heart.' * Famiglia Cristina * 'Tamaro leads us by the hand to the centre of the world, passing through hope and the essence of happiness.' * Eco di Bergamo * 'A story that rotates around the meaning of freedom.' * Gazzetta del sud *
