Turtle Diary
by Russell Hoban  (American ex-pat)
1975 / 185 pages
Rating  9.2  /20th cent. fiction

Odd rating,  I know,  but I wanted it to make the 9+ category.  It’s that good,  but still,  not more than that.  It’s a special kind of book,  imo.

An older man and an older woman tell,  in alternating chapters,   first person accounts of their daily lives over a relatively short span of time,    their interactions with animals at the London Zoo and more.   They are strangers,  but by coincidence they meet more than once.  >>>>MORE>>>>
