UNFORGETTABLE., 3 Mar 2005
I taught this book for many years, because to me, it was one of the most perfect books which I had ever read.
The fact that the main character, Claudia, is dying is contributed simply because that is the only way that we can see Claudia still at last.Her life, like the Moon Tiger- a mosquito coil which burns itself down to ashes, burns down till the end of the book, and duing that book, we meet all the characters who have had an effect on Claudia. They are her brother Gordon whom she loves more than anyone except her lover Tom Southern, Gordon's wife, Sylvia (not Sheila, and certainly not a wife to Tom who has no wife), Jasper the father of Claudia's child, Lisa,and Lazlo, a surrogate son. We examine the mercurial temperament which is Claudia and whether we love her or hate, (and sometimes we do both) we are fascianted by her. This is a book which stays in your memory for ever.
