Tiger Lily
Let me tell you something straight off. This is a love story, but not like any youve heard. The boy and the girl are far from innocent. Dear lives are lost. And good doesnt win. In some places, there is something ultimately good about endings. In Neverland, that is not the case. This story turned out to be such a pleasant surprise for me! I must confess I am not a fan of Peter Pan, and all retellings Ive read never left me with the feeling of satisfaction, on the contrary, I was always left

Once in a while you read a book that is different from all the others. It hooks itself into your heart and doesnt let you go until you turn the last page. And when it is done, you realize that it has left a gaping hole inside of you. For me, Tiger Lily was that book. I knew how it would end, thought I was prepared, but somehow I still wasnt. This novel is beautiful, charming and tragic all at the same time. The story was utterly captivating and the writing style so lovely that I feel like the

The only word that perfectly describes Tiger Lily is a Russian word toska. No single word in English renders all the shades of toska. At its deepest and most painful, it is a sensation of great spiritual anguish, often without any specific cause. At less morbid levels it is a dull ache of the soul, a longing with nothing to long for, a sick pining, a vague restlessness, mental throes, yearning. In particular cases it may be the desire for somebody of something specific, nostalgia, love-sickness.

Description In Pursuance Of Books Tiger Lily
Before Peter Pan belonged to Wendy, he belonged to the girl with the crow feather in her hair... Fifteen-year-old Tiger Lily doesn't believe in love stories or happy endings. Then she meets the alluring teenage Peter Pan in the forbidden woods of Neverland and immediately falls under his spell. Peter is unlike anyone she's ever known. Impetuous and brave, he both scares and enthralls her. As the leader of the Lost Boys, the most fearsome of Neverland's inhabitants, Peter is an unthinkable match for Tiger Lily. Soon, she is risking everything—her family, her future—to be with him. When she is faced with marriage to a terrible man in her own tribe, she must choose between the life she's always known and running away to an uncertain future with Peter. With enemies threatening to tear them apart, the lovers seem doomed. But it's the arrival of Wendy Darling, an English girl who's everything Tiger Lily is not, that leads Tiger Lily to discover that the most dangerous enemies can live inside even the most loyal and loving heart. From the New York Times bestselling author of Peaches comes a magical and bewitching story of the romance between a fearless heroine and the boy who wouldn't grow up.Particularize Books Toward Tiger Lily
