Tiger's Eye is a powerful and intensely personal memoir by celebrated Australian historian Inga Clendinnen. Written after a life-threatening illness, the book moves through memory, history, family, illness, writing, and survival with remarkable clarity and intelligence.

Blending autobiography with literary reflection, Clendinnen examines childhood, identity, mortality, and the strange transformations brought by serious illness. The result is neither straightforward memoir nor conventional essay collection, but a sharp, emotionally complex meditation on living and remembering.
