Snatched from her ancestral lands, a giant tortoise finds herself in an exclusive estate in southern California where she becomes an astute observer of societal change. Her journey is one of discovery, as she learns to embrace the music of jazz and the warmth of human connection.
The tortoise’s story is enriched by her bond with Takeo, the estate’s gardener, who sees her as a being with thoughts and feelings, not just a creature to be observed. The tortoise’s mind and heart are further expanded by Lucy, a young girl who names the tortoise Magic and shares a friendship that transcends species. Together, they witness the estate’s transformation into a haven for industry titans, politicians, and rock stars, each leaving their mark on the world and on Magic’s heart.
The tortoise embraces her role as a muse with gusto and witnesses how diverse human harmonies and the mighty winds of social change both uplift people and tear them apart. Over the course of her lifetime, the estate changes ownership, bringing raucous Hollywood parties, and animals both familiar and unexpected. There are also threats, as the estate’s idyll is not immune to the ravages of a damaged planet. Through each era, the tortoise remains a refreshingly honest and endearing narrator whose unique vantage point illuminates the transcendent power of compassion, the unexpected connections that shape how we see ourselves and each other, and the wide-reaching effects of choice—or the lack thereof.
The Tortoise’s Tale is a whimsical yet profound exploration of humanity’s entangled journey, a call to recognize the interconnectedness of all life, and the potential for healing. Kendra Coulter’s debut novel is a moving portrait of resilience and hope, perfect for fans of Shelby Van Pelt’s Remarkably Bright Creatures.

Reseñas de la crítica
“It is not an exaggeration to say I have thought about The Tortoise’s Tale almost every day since I first read it. Kendra Coulter has pulled a magic trick, penning a novel that is both a captivating story of resilience and connection imbued with humour and heart, as well as an urgent warning about the future of our planet, and how its survival rests on the way we treat all the beings who call it home. Propulsive, moving, and bursting with life, The Tortoise’s Tale will break your heart and then heal it again.”

“You’d have to be a rock not to be profoundly moved by the voice of this gentle tortoise and the multi-species community she cares for. This book is powerful, urgent, important, a new kind of story for a crazy century – and with one of the most evocative and haunting endings I’ve ever read. Gorgeous, and exactly what we need. I’d follow this tortoise and this author anywhere.”
