Plot
[ edit ]
In 1931, in British Malaya , Ji Lin works as an apprentice dressmaker and dancehall girl. One of her dance partners leaves her with a human finger.
Houseboy Ren is trying to fulfil his former master’s dying wish: to find his lost finger within 49 days.
Meanwhile, unexplained deaths take place across the area, and there are rumours of the harimau jadian tiger that can transform into a human.[5]
Reception
[ edit ]
The Washington Independent Review of Books The Night Tiger "a galloping good read that’s blessedly free of political polemics and post-colonial self-righteousness."[6] In Locus [7] The Harvard Crimson The Night Tiger , "The world of colonial Malaysia is a pulsing, dynamic land. […] filled with exponentially heightened colors, dreams, and emotions in a quivering, hallucinatory mystery where local and diasporic mythologies come to life. […] a world hopelessly entangled in threads of fate and death, ordered along rules of ritual and folklore."[8]
The audiobook of the novel, narrated by Choo herself, was nominated for the 2020 Audie Award for Literary Fiction or Classics .[9]
In 2022, The Night Tiger was included on the Big Jubilee Read , a list of 70 books by Commonwealth authors produced to celebrate Queen Elizabeth II 's Platinum Jubilee .[10] [11]
