February 2023 Book of the Month

Set in two time frame linked through two girls from one family, this is an ambitious and exciting novel that movingly explores friendships and family ties against a background of mental health issues.

Contemporary Rosie seems like any other teenager until she suddenly and inexplicably goes missing. When she is found and brought home to safety she remains obsessed with invisible tigers who seem to prowl through her mind.

Sensitively and gently her friends, led by Jude, give her time and space to calm her fears. Unexpectedly inheriting a house from her grandmother brings Rosie a place of safety and also links her to Emma, a nineteenth century relative who had to abandon her scientific dreams to care for her brother James who, like Rosie, became obsessed with a tiger – this time in a museum.

Both Rosie and James need understanding and love and Hannah Foley explores how that is given by their friends with great sensitivity.
