- Summary
- Un día de verano, Margaux Fragoso conoció a Peter Curran. Ella tenía siete años, él cincuenta y uno. Cuando Curran la invitó a su casa, Margaux encontró un mundo infantil de ensueño y pronto empezó a pasar sus días con él. Con el tiempo, él fue desplegando sus encantos hasta convertirse en compañero de juegos, padre y amante. Seductor y repulsivo, violento y cariñoso, manipulador, Peter transformóa una niña rebosante de imaginación en una joven al borde del suicidio. Estas extraordinarias memorias son el relato del corazón y la mente de un monstruo, pero, ante todo, ilustran el poder de la imaginación infantil para reinventar la realidad y sanar.
- Fragoso's gut-wrenching memoir of sexual abuse--unflinchingly yet exquisitely rendered as she experienced them.
- One summer day, Margaux Fragoso meets Peter Curran at the neighborhood swimming pool, and they begin to play. She is seven; he is fifty-one. When Peter invites her and her mother to his house, the little girl finds a child's paradise. Her mother, beset by mental illness and overwhelmed by caring for Margaux, is grateful for the attention Peter lavishes on her, and he creates an imaginative universe for her, much as Lewis Carroll did for his real-life Alice. In time, he insidiously takes on the role of playmate, father, and lover. Charming and manipulative, he transforms her from a child fizzing with imagination and affection into a brainwashed young woman on the verge of suicide. But when she is twenty-two, it is Peter--ill and wracked with guilt--who kills himself. Told with lyricism, depth, and mesmerizing clarity, Tiger, Tiger vividly illustrates the healing power of memory and disclosure. This extraordinary memoir is an unprecedented glimpse into the psyche of a young girl in free fall and conveys to readers, including parents and survivors of abuse, just how completely a pedophile enchants his victim and binds her to him.
