Abstract

FIRST REVIEW: Tiger Dreams, Almeda Glenn Miller's complex first novel, explores the story of Claire Spencer, a woman of Anglo-Indian heritage who travels with her boyfriend, David, from Canada to Pune, India, to visit an old crippled relative who knew Claire's grandfather, the superintendent of the prison where Gandhi was jailed in the '30s. Claire is working on a documentary film about her Grandpa Denzil and his young wife, Alice, and the story includes long flashbacks to their lives during Gandhi's time. Claire feels closely connected to Alice, and the author draws a wonderful portrait of this character and the period.
