Confessions of a Turtle Wife - Paperback

by Anita Salzberg (Author)

What in the world is a Turtle Wife? It's a woman (or a man-sometimes referred to as a Turtle Husband) married to someone obsessed with nature's shelled wonders. Confessions of a Turtle Wife is the story of a turtle-challenged marriage. Over the course of the book and many hilarious escapades-including a snapping turtle in the bathtub, turtle sex on the living room floor, and searching for turtles in pet stores across America-Turtle Wife becomes turtle lover. Anita Salzberg is a freelance copywriter and journalist. With her husband, Allen, she has authored three children's books: Predators!, Flightless Birds, and Turtles (Franklin Watts), and articles on turtles and horseshoe crabs for Ranger Rick. She has also written for OMNI, Health, and The New York Times Magazine. She currently lives with Allen, two cats, one ball python, and a paltry eight turtles in Queens, New York.
