Story4.5 out of 5 stars 135
A producer at the BBC and mother to a new baby, Tessa is at work in Belfast one day when the news of another raid comes on the air. The IRA may have gone underground in the two decades since the Good Friday Agreement, but they never really went away, and lately bomb threats, security checkpoints, and helicopters floating ominously over the city have become features of everyday life. As the news reporter requests the public's help in locating those responsible for the robbery, security footage reveals Tessa's sister, Marian, pulling a black ski mask over her face.

Indian American journalist Smita has returned to India to cover a story, but reluctantly: long ago she and her family left the country with no intention of ever coming back. As she follows the case of Meena—a Hindu woman attacked by members of her own village and her own family for marrying a Muslim man—Smita comes face to face with a society where tradition carries more weight than one’s own heart, and a story that threatens to unearth the painful secrets of Smita’s own past.

Story4.5 out of 5 stars 134
Emmeline lives on a remote island with her father, who teaches her about the natural world through her senses. What he won’t explain are the mysterious scents stored in glass bottles that line the walls of their cabin, or the origin of the machine that creates them. As Emmeline grows, however, so too does her curiosity, until one day the unforeseen happens, and Emmeline is vaulted out into the real world—a place of love, betrayal, ambition, and revenge. To understand her past, Emmeline must unlock the clues to her identity.

Publisher's Summary
A Reese's Book Club x Hello Sunshine on Audible Pick
"You won’t be able to put this down! I’m excited to announce that our April pick is The Night Tiger by Yangsze Choo. Set in a tiny Malaysian town in the 1930s, the story is about a mystifying tiger who haunts the villages, followed by a series of mysterious deaths. The two main characters will captivate you as their paths are destined to cross. I can’t wait to hear what you think!" (Reese Witherspoon)
"Choo narrates this richly complex novel herself, her gorgeous writing delivered in a voice that is deep and precise and lovely, both British and not quite. Her tone and words transport us...." (San Francisco Chronicle)
This program is read by the author.
A sweeping historical audiobook about a dance hall girl and an orphan boy whose fates entangle over an old Chinese superstition about men who turn into tigers.
Quick-witted, ambitious Ji Lin is stuck as an apprentice dressmaker, moonlighting as a dance hall girl to help pay off her mother’s Mahjong debts. But when one of her dance partners accidentally leaves behind a gruesome souvenir, Ji Lin may finally get the adventure she has been longing for.
Eleven-year-old houseboy Ren is also on a mission, racing to fulfill his former master’s dying wish: that Ren find the man’s finger, lost years ago in an accident, and bury it with his body. Ren has 49 days to do so, or his master’s soul will wander the earth forever.
As the days tick relentlessly by, a series of unexplained deaths wracks the district, along with whispers of men who turn into tigers. Ji Lin and Ren’s increasingly dangerous paths crisscross through lush plantations, hospital storage rooms, and ghostly dreamscapes.
Yangsze Choo's The Night Tiger pulls us into a world of servants and masters, age-old superstition and modern idealism, sibling rivalry and forbidden love. But anchoring this dazzling, propulsive audiobook is the intimate coming of age of a child and a young woman, each searching for their place in a society that would rather they stay invisible.

What the critics say

Riveting!!!!
I randomly chose to download this book because I had credits to spend. The next I knew I was being pulled down the rabbit hole into a world of Asian Folklore, forbidden love and shrivelled body parts. READ IT! You'll thank yourself.

A Very Satisfying Story and Beautiful Narration
A perfect summer book, wonderfully narrated by the author herself. I rarely enjoy a book read by the author unless it's a celebrity author and the book is clearly an autobiography. But in this case, Ms. Choo has the perfect lilting English cadence to capture the world of her characters and the magic surrealism of their dream world. Recommended listen and looking forward to reading more of her books!

Loved it!
The narrator/author has such a beautiful voice and accent, I would listen again just for that. The story keeps you engaged, has a really good mix of real and surreal, and actually ended up being more mysterious/suspenseful than I was expecting, which was an added bonus. I fished it also feeling like I learned a bit more about the history, culture, and beliefs of a part of the world I know very little about, which I love.
I recommend it to anyone who likes ghost stories (not terrifying, but a little creepy and mysterious) and history.

An exotic mystery!
The story took me a little while to get into, but it was worth the wait! I have never heard a story quite like this and I couldn’t stop listening to the last 3rd! Narrated by the author, I found her voice soothing and easy to listen to.
