MARC A. TARABOUR

There’s a Tortoise in My Hair, a novel of a life worth living. The words flowed like velvet, I laughed, and I cried following the 60-year journey of the life of an extraordinary and blessed man. The characters’ energy and mental acrobatics left me exhausted at times. This is a rare book you know you pick back up to read again. Growing up and still being part of the Weequahic community gives you the nostalgia you could only get from Philp Roth till now.
