Confessions of a Turtle Wife
You don't have to know a thing about turtles or even care about them, but by the time you finish this hilarious, educational, and positively charming book, you'll realize it's not about turtles after all. It's a cosmic New York love story ... a guy obsessed with turtles and the woman who falls in love with him ... and his chelonians.
When Anita Salzberg marries her husband, Allen, she discovers that she's also married his "little" turtle hobby. While sports widows merely get dragged to the ball park, the football stadium, or the links, a turtle wife (or husband) gets hauled to the pet store, the pet wholesaler and the reptile expo. Over the course of the book and numerous improbable escapades, including sheltering a snapping turtle in the bathtub, ogling turtles having sex on the living room floor, and searching for turtles in pet stores across America, Turtle Wife becomes turtle lover.
What would you do if your spouse filled your living room, kitchen, bathtub and even your freezer with turtles? (The ones in the freezer, wrapped in aluminum foil, had passed on. Even so!) Most women would have fled for the hills or filed for divorce. Not me.
Confessions of a Turtle Wife is the story of how and why for more than 20 years I've stuck to my marriage vows through thick, thin, and turtles ad infinitem. This book can show you how to love someone no matter what crazy thing they're into, as well as how to laugh at yourself, your significant other, and thing odd things life throws at us all.
