Interesting and well written, but I think this author's style isn't for me. I always want to like her books more than I do, and I can't quite put my finger on what leaves me wanting. Anyway, I did like the way this wove the turtle story through the human pandemic story, and there's lots of very charismatic turtles! Probably a good fit for a different reader.
Graphic: Animal death
Minor: Animal cruelty and Transphobia

What a wonderful, in depth exploration of turtles, the philosophy of time, and the impacts of both humans on the environment & COVID on society & nature. I enjoyed this much more than Soul of an Octopus, because it felt more focused on conservation & recovery efforts, rather than some questionable (and now outdated) treatment of animals.
You'll gain a new appreciation for turtles & a new level of disappointment in humans. The color photo section was a lovely addition.
