Readers follow Pi Patel, the son of a zookeeper in India, as he learns to hold three religions in his heart before a shipwreck changes everything. Trapped on a lifeboat with a hyena, an orangutan, a wounded zebra, and a tiger named Richard Parker, Pi must rely on wit, patience, and belief to survive nearly eight months at sea. Along the way, the novel asks a simple but haunting question: which version of a story do you choose to believe? By the final chapter, most readers find themselves rethinking the answer.
