The Boy on the Back of the Turtle: Seeking God, Quince Marmalade, and the Fabled Albatross on Darwin's Islands

The Boy on the Back of the Turtle: Seeking God, Quince Marmalade, and the Fabled Albatross on Darwin's Islands
Paul Quarrington
TRAVEL NARRATIVE •  2003 •  PAPER  • 247 PAGES

Humorist, novelist and family man on a quest, Quarrington offers an entertaining account of a Galapagos voyage in the company of his seven-year-old daughter and seventy-year-old father. The man sure can write and his riffs on his trip, nature, evolution and family will have you laughing out loud. He captures too the allure of the place (and the foibles of his fellow travelers). God he does not find.  (GPS65, $14.95)
