Very good read with suspense and felt like I was

Really liked the book. Felt like I was there in the mountain with the children.

A beautiful story

I love the story. Well written. Romantic, fierce, dramatic.
I also enjoyed the narrator. Easy to hear. I appreciated that I didn’t have to constantly adjust the volume as is the case with so many narrators.

I wish it was longer

could not understand some of the story because of narrators accent but I understand
for the area the story took place, and she did well with detail.

Amazing Story

I totally enjoyed this story which takes place in 1918 Mexico during the Mexican Revolution. It is the story of a 13 year old girl as told by her great granddaughter in 2022 who kills a huge circus tiger that had escaped from a derailed train. This is my first time to read/listen to author Silvia Moreno-Garcia and I was not disappointed. Well narrated by Cynthia Farrell.

Frightening

1917 Mexico war time. A survivor story, I should not have read it, for me it awakened my experiences that were better left alone. I can only tell you my reactions, I think you will decide yourself. Not recommended reading before bed, but these are the stories we need to heed and remember. Thank you granddaughter for telling it.

Silvia Moreno-Garcia Does it Again!

Silvia Moreno-Garcia is quickly becoming one of my favorite contemporary authors. Her writing, as always, is exquisite. This short tale is one of survival, not only from a night with a tiger, but from war, from poverty, from grief, from patriarchy. As with much of SYG's work, it is a portrait of a girl who is tested and prevails, even under the most harrowing of circumstances.

Short but packed a punch

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 of Silvia Moreno-Garcia's writing style and the way she had the animals such an integral part of the story and part of survival.
Narration was fantastic and I will definitely check out more of these books that are part of the Trespass collection. They are a nice listen and ones that can be finished in under an hour. A perfect palate cleanser.
