The Tower, the Zoo, and the Tortoise
The Tower, the Zoo, and the Tortoise: A Novel
by Julia Stuart
The Tower, The Zoo, and The Tortoise (8/9/2010)
It is a quirky, light hearted novel and a delightful read. I think it would appeal more to readers that like authors such as Alexander McCall Smith. It is not a mystery but revolves around characters of a certain place--the Tower of London. After reading this book, I have an entirely new view of the Tower. I can't wait to revisit it.
