This book from a National Geographic staffer is a series of stories about unlikely animal bonds. From Owen the hippo and Mzee the tortoise, to the food-chain defying story of an Indian leopard who sneaks into a village every night to cuddle with a baby calf.

The movie is out in theatres this week, so why not read the book before you go? From the same author of the brilliant Tulip Fever, this tells the tale of a retirement home in Bangalore that appeals to Brits who seek indulgent living at a bargain price. When they arrive they discover a rundown spot, but the friendships they form make it worthwhile. Uplifting.
