Line 7:
* The story of the eponymous tiger's wife, a deaf-mute girl who lived in the village where Natalia's grandfather was born. Unable to communicate with the villagers and abused by her husband, who was tricked into marrying her, she forms a bond with a tiger which escapes from a zoo in the City and makes its way to the area.
* The story of Gavran Gailé, the 'deathless man', whom Natalia's grandfather met several times in different periods of his life and who apparently cannot die or age; Gavo claims that [[The Grim Reaper|Death]] is his uncle, and gave him immortality [[Who Wants to Live Forever?|as a punishment]] for preventing the death of the woman he loved <ref>Who, it turns out, was the tiger's wife's older sister and intended bride of her husband.</ref>
* The story of Natalia's growing up in the war-ravaged City, training as a doctor, and her medical aid trip with Zóra, as well as her relationship with her grandfather and her coming to terms with his death.
Line 37:
* [[Ruritania]]: The country where it takes place has elements of this, especially in the parts which take place in the early twentieth century.
* [[Supporting Protagonist]]: Given how much of the novel is either Natalia talking about her grandfather or stories told to Natalia by her grandfather, you could make a very good case for him being the real protagonist.
* [[Who Wants to Live Forever?]]: Gavo doesn't have too much of a problem with it by the time we get to him, but he certainly doesn't condone the idea.
