The Tiger Came to the Mountains (Trespass collection)
The Tiger Came to the Mountains (Trespass collection) | Silvia Moreno-Garcia
2 posts | 9 read | 2 to read
Mexico, 1917. On a farm during the violent tumult of revolution, a more immediate threat prowls in a short, emotional story about survival by the New York Times bestselling author of Mexican Gothic.
She is the adventurer of the family. Her brother, the gentle dreamer. Even as they bond over folktales and hold each other close, their world has never felt so dangerous. Revolutionaries and pelones are in conflict, soldiers have turned into scavengers, and an escaped tiger has slipped up the mountain, looking for easy prey. As the darkest of legends becomes real, a young girl will do anything to save her brother’s life.
Silvia Moreno-Garcia’s The Tiger Came to the Mountains is part of Trespass, a collection of wild stories about animal instincts, human folly, and survival from award-winning, bestselling authors. Read or listen to each in a single sitting.

I recently read this short story after getting a new tablet specifically for ebooks(the Amazon Fire 7, it turned out to be the perfect size to hold and was on sale).

It was a fun quick read. I loved the way everything was described. For a short story I think it did a good job at establishing the connections between the characters as well as the world they lived in. I definitely recommend giving it a read

A short intense story almost told in the form of a fairy tale. During the time of the revolution a young girl and her brother must hide in a cave from the soldiers when they meet a tiger.
