The Slow Waltz of Turtles: A Novel

Written by Katherine Pancol

Narrated by C.S.E. Cooney

Forty-something mother of two Joséphine Cortès is at a crossroads. She has just moved to a posh new apartment in Paris after the success of the historical novel she ghostwrote for her sister, Iris. Still struggling with her divorce—the result of her husband running off to Kenya to start a crocodile farm with his mistress—she is now entangled too in a messy lie orchestrated by her sister. And just when things seem they can't get any more complicated, people start turning up dead in her neighborhood.



As Joséphine struggles to find her voice and her confidence amidst a messy web of relationships and a string of murders, she and those around her must learn to push on with determination, like headstrong little turtles learning to dance slowly in a world that's too violent and moving too fast.

Reviews for The Slow Waltz of Turtles

[Atalanta ? · Rating: 3 out of 5 stars]

The second volume of the trilogy didn't please me as much as the first, but the curiosity... (Translated from Spanish)

[kakunni · Rating: 4 out of 5 stars]

Easy to read and quite entertaining, but I would have liked it to focus more on the teenagers. I’m already eager to read the third part. (Translated from Spanish)

[March Delgado · Rating: 3 out of 5 stars]

By the end of the first part, my interest had already declined, but in this second part, it fell through the floor. Totally flat. I do not recommend it. (Translated from Spanish)

Second novel of Katherine Pancol's trilogy.
It reads very well because it is very light, but I found it less interesting than the first. (Translated from Spanish)

[Marie1982 · Rating: 3 out of 5 stars]

I liked it more than the first one, eager to know how the story ends. (Translated from Spanish)
