Editorial Reviews

"After so many years spent working in India it is a magical experience to be so viscerally transported there by Paul’s writing. Through Isha’s eyes we walk beside tigers and elephants, in a beautiful and tragic journey through India’s threatened jungles. This is an important journey that I highly recommend you must take."

—Steve Winter, National Geographic photojournalist

"Rosolie's gripping novel examines the complex relationship between nature, man and animal, subtly foregrounding the chief concerns of the present. The numerous characters in this novel and the intertwined nature of their journeys are powerful in reality, as well as metaphorically… Only someone with an enormous love for nature and the talent to be able to see in details can produce a work of such merit."

—Vivek Shanbhag, author of Ghachar Ghochar, a NYT Critics’ Top Books of 2017

"THE GIRL AND THE TIGER is our modern day THE JUNGLE BOOK . . ."
