This was a short story that I listened to on Audible and enjoyed the narrator and the way she made me care for the characters in such a short period of time.It was like getting to experience a story in first person that has been passed down from generation to generation about what happened to family during a tumultuous time.H is for Hippo. L is for Lion. T is for Tiger. Although it was short, it still packed a punch, but would always like more when I get a story such as this. I liked this side o...
This story refunds reminds me of why I love Silvia Moreno-Garcia's writing so much. It's a story rooted in the past and culture, as much as it is in the present.
This is the second story I've read from the Trespass collection, and I liked this one much more. It's my second time reading Silvia Moreno-Garcia, despite owning three of her books. I really need to check out more of her work, I love her voice so much. Her writing style clicks into my brain, even when the genre or subject matter isn't something I gravitate towards. I say this only having read this (historical fiction/war/familial) and Certain Dark Things (paranormal/urban fantasy horror with vam...
By now, Silvia Moreno-Garcia has hit auto-buy status for me. I had not heard of this so-called Trespass Collection before I saw the banner on top of my GoodReads page yesterday, despite being a Prime member. Way to drop the ball, Amazon: where was my email or notification? Imagine my surprise when, out of mild curiosity, I clicked on that banner and found entries by three of my currently favorite authors? So, I have to drop all my other reading plans to read these short stories NOW. It's only fa...
H is for hippo and L is for lion and T is for Tiger My first ever book from Silvia Moreno-Garcia and it was a banger! I know some softhearted people might think it is cruel to kill a squirrel, but it is crueler still to watch your siblings growing up stunted and skinny. A squirrel's tiny bones may be hard to pick when you are having a soup, but hunger is harder. This under 30 pages book had me caring for the characters so much!🥺 Definitely reading her other works as soon as possible. This
Taking Tiger MountainReview of the Amazon Original Kindle eBook released simultaneously with the Audible Original audiobook (February 24 2022).I enjoyed this short story by Silvia Moreno-Garcia which was inspired by her own family legend of her great-grandmother. Moreno-Garcia sets her tale in the midst of the Mexican Revolution (1910-20) when both the Federal and Revolutionary forces would loot the villages for food and people for the war effort. Women, children and animals would hide in mounta...
Note: This ebook/audio is free to borrow for Prime members.Silvia Moreno-Garcia tells this moving story, from her grandmother’s perspective, of her family‘s experiences during the Mexican Revolution. While focused on a singular incident of a 13yo girl fighting off a tiger attack, Moreno-Garcia shares many hardships and travesties of war. How regular, hardworking people are impacted. I love the flow of her writing. Powerful short story. “I could have sworn, for one brief instant, that tiger was n...
― Rating: 4.25 Stars ★★★★ The Tiger Came To The Mountains is a short story set in 1917 Mexico following 13-year old Machorra whose life changes not only during the height of the Revolution, but when she encounters a runaway tiger. As part of the forthcoming Trespass Collection, this is a tale that dares to ask what happens when animals and humans invade each other's spaces. Silvia Moreno-Garcia's story is sure to captivate!I have yet to read a full-length novel by Silvia, but after having the
In 1917 Mexico, a young girl and her brother hide out in mountain caves from soldiers from both sides of the revolution and encounter an escaped circus tiger. Filled with the love of family and place, the story also reveals the horrors of civil war and poverty and the people caught up in it. The author's personal note at the end, which connects the girl to her great-grandmother, is stunning.
I love these short stories, you can find them on Amazon Original Stories and they’re included in the unlimited and Prime membership
A very good short story..I enjoyed reading the story through the experience of different cultures.Ms Moreno-Garcia did a very good job of keeping my interest
