Oops.  Looks like this book got discussed as a whole, so I'll plan on that.  In the meantime, I heard somewhere that the place names are fictitious in Tiger's Wife.  Is that true?  If so, I'll probably not bother going to look for pictures of the locations, although I think that could have been most enlightening.

Yeah, the place names are fictitious but if one knows the area around Belgrade then everything is pretty recognizable (me, I don't know Belgrade, so I just go with it :smileytongue:)

There was a bit of discussion on this topic in the book as a whole.

Reading gives us someplace to go when we have to stay where we are.
