The Tiger's Wife by Tea Obreht

Strange, haunting stories weave their way through this novel, stories of tigers, wives, music, coffee and a deathless man.

Set in the years following the war in Yugoslavia, when you are either on one side of the border or the other, the narrator is helping immunise children on the other side, when she goes in search of the place where her grandfather has died.

A mysterious book and an enjoyable read. It won the Orange Prize for Fiction, and my Mum passed it on to me after reading it at her book club.
