LONGLISTED FOR THE NATIONAL BOOK AWARD IN FICTION • A spellbinding historical novel set in the eighteenth century: a hero’s quest, a love story, the story of a young artist coming of age, and an exuberant heist adventure that traces the bloody legacy of colonialism across two continents and fifty years. A Best Book of the Year: The Washington Post, Los Angeles Times, NPR , Kirkus Reviews “Addictively absorbing.” — The New York Times Book Review This wildly inventive, irresistible feat of storytelling from a writer at the height of her powers is "an expertly-plotted, deeply affecting novel about war, displacement, emigration, and an elusive mechanical tiger" (Maggie O’Farrell, best-selling author of Hamnet and The Marriage Portrait). Abbas is just seventeen years old when his gifts as a woodcarver come to the attention of Tipu Sultan, and he is drawn into service at the palace in order to build a giant tiger automaton for Tipu’s sons, a gift to commemorate their return from British captivity. His fate—and the fate of the wooden tiger he helps create—will mirror the vicissitudes of nations and dynasties ravaged by war across India and Europe. Working alongside the legendary French clockmaker Lucien du Leze, Abbas hones his craft, learns French, and meets Jehanne, the daughter of a French expatriate.  When Du Leze is finally permitted to return home to Rouen, he invites Abbas to come along as his apprentice. But by the time Abbas travels to Europe, Tipu’s palace has been looted by British forces, and the tiger automaton has disappeared. To prove himself, Abbas must retrieve the tiger from an estate in the English countryside, where it is displayed in a collection of plundered art.

Beautiful and gorgeous
Super cute, made a great graduation gift for our daughter! Very beautiful colors and quality. The adjustable chain on it is wonderful for those with small wrists too. Reasonably priced for such quality honestly.

Love this necklace!
Color: Stainless Steel: silver 1 paw
I love this necklace!! It is small, but I feel they are very upfront with the picture comparing it to a penny. The quality is good and the engraving is nicer than I expected. I love it! And very reasonably priced. Comes in a very nice bag if you are getting it for a gift.

Bigger than i expected
Color: Stainless Steel: silver 3 paws, Color: Stainless Steel: silver 3 paws
So I previously ordered but possibly from a different seller, and the paw was very tiny, so I was expecting the same with three paws, but this one the paws are about twice the size of my old one. Too big for a necklace in my opinion, but I will keep it and use as a key chain! Still very cute and the engraving came out great, great price! See pictures for size.
