Turtle Diary (New York Review Books Classics)
- Used Book in Good Condition
Life in a city can be atomizing, isolating. And it certainly is for William G. and Neaera H., the strangers at the center of Russell Hobanâ€™s surprisingly heartwarming novel Turtle Diary. William, a clerk at a used-book store, lives in a rooming house after a divorce that has left him without home or family. Neaera is a successful writer of childrenâ€™s books, who, in her own estimation, â€œlooks like the sort of spinster who doesnâ€™t keep cats and is not a vegetarian. Looksâ€¦like a manâ€™s woman who hasnâ€™t got a man.â€ Entirely unknown to each other, they are both drawn to the turtle tank at the London zoo with â€œminds full of turtle thoughts,â€ wondering how the turtles might be freed. And then comes the day when Neaera walks into Williamâ€™s bookstore, and together they form an unlikely partnership to make what seemed a crazy dream become a reality.
