About this listen
Isha is a girl who loves animals but struggles in the confines of school. When she is sent away to live with her grandparents on the Indian countryside, she discovers a sacred grove where a young Bengal tiger has taken refuge. Isha knows that the ever-shrinking forests of India mean there are few places left for a tiger to hide. When the local villagers also discover the tiger, Isha finds herself embroiled in a life-or-death cultural controversy.
Isha’s crusade to save the tiger becomes the catalyst of an arduous journey of awakening and survival across the changing landscape of modernizing India. Her encounters with tribal people, elephants, and her search for the wild jungle are the source of her revelations about the human relationship to the natural world in a gripping story of determination, discovery, and coming of age.
©2019 Paul Rosolie (P)2019 Blackstone PublishingIncredibly written and superbly created imagery.
Perhaps the best performance I've ever 'read' - I was entirely deep in the story throughout - too much so in parts. (Warnings of violence and intensely described gore 🙈🙉)
One heck of an emotional challenge for a softie such as myself. Still, I would read/listen again. This book is going to stay with me for a very long time indeed, particularly knowing the elements of truth throughout.
Note: Be sure to listen to the Epilogue.
Thank you, Paul Rosolie, for bringing the privileged world these insights into the wild that exists - albeit tenuously in some areas - and of course, for your own tireless devotion to this wilderness 🙏
Enlivening, heart-wrenching story of devotion and connection.
