'Wonderful, life-saving ... places Russell Hoban among the
greatest, timeless novelists' The Times Born to swim thousands of
miles in the ocean, the giant sea turtles are now trapped in a tank
of golden-green water at London Zoo. But not for much longer. Two
lonely people, a bookseller and a children's illustrator, have
begun thinking turtle thoughts. As they come together to hatch a
plan to release the turtles into the sea, their diaries reveal how
they find their own lives changing in imperceptible and quite
unintended ways. 'Crackles with witty detail, mordant intelligence
and self-deprecating irony' Time 'This lovely human fable seems to
me one of the best things of its kind - a fine and touching
achievement' John Fowles
