The Back of the Turtle by Thomas King
date
newest »

Thomas King is a very well-known Canadian author and this is his first fiction book in 15 years. His writing is always succinct, very witty, and yet very touching at the same time. He uses a very effective storytelling kind of narrative with 4.5 characters weaving different parts of the story as they join together to tell all the parts of King's story.
I also loved the subject matter of this book: man-made environmental disaster, corporate greed, and interesting and engaging characters seeking home and redemption.
Great book!
