This was different than any book I‘ve ever read. I felt like I could see and feel what it felt like to be in India and in France in the early late 1700s/early 1800s. This book had a bit of a magical feel, with the automan tiger and all. The main character, Abbas, was well developed and likable. This was the November 2023 bookclub pick (#ReadWithSharon). I‘m not sure I would have read it otherwise, but am glad that I did.
