Tea Obreht's The Tiger's Wife
For whatever reason, I wasn't really psyched to reread this for Lady Doctor Book Group, even though I loved it when I read it the first time. And really, it was ripe for rereading, because I'd forgotten most of the details (and completely forgotten all the parts involving Koschei the Deathless, who is more sympathetic here than in some versions). Anyway, it totally holds up, moving story about a doctor in post-war Bosnia (or thereabouts) and her relationship with her grandfather and his various folk-ish stories, plus tigers, etc etc, so good, can't wait to discuss with a bunch of lady doctors. Still an A.
