inkandplasma 's review for:
The Tiger Came to the Mountains
by Silvia Moreno-Garcia
Full collection review live on my blog 25/04/2022: https://inkandplasma.com/2022/04/25/the-trespass-collection/
THE TIGER CAME TO THE MOUNTAINS has Silvia Moreno-Garcia's signature lush and beautiful prose, and this tale is a beautiful piece about family, love and courage. The loyalty between our narrator and her beloved brother is beautiful to read, and this raw novella made me feel the fierce need to survive. I loved the descriptions, and the insight into surviving a war not on the front lines but behind the scenes, where family and resources are taken by soldiers. I loved the juxtaposition of the realist and the dreamer and how they weren't set against each other but in complement. I pretty much always adore Moreno-Garcia's fiction and this was no exception. A very strong start to this collection.
