*Tiger Hills*

TIGER HILLS BY SARITA MANDANNA, WEIDENFELD & NICOLSON, $32.95.

From the moment of her birth in a village in southern India, Devi is marked out as special. She becomes a beautiful, innocent girl with the heart of a tigress, who battles with betrayal, loss and poverty. Set in the early 20th century, Devi’s story develops against the backdrop of the North-West Frontier wars, the coming of Gandhi and Indian independence, scandalous Weimar Berlin and even, briefly, the rise of Nazism.

At its heart, it is a love story between Devi and Machu, a tiger killer. Yet it’s much more than that. It’s the story of four very different men who make up Devi’s family. And it’s a story with a twist, one that leaves you pondering what would have happened after the final page is turned.
