Sy Montgomery’s enchanting new book, “Of Time and Turtles,” will make you want to be a better animal.
Montgomery spent much of the pandemic with Alexxia, Natasha and the rest of the TRL as they struggled to save and, if possible, rehabilitate and release hundreds of animals. Turtles are struck by cars as they try to make it from one pond to another, attacked by dogs as they trundle through the woods, baffled by warming weather as they build their nests, starved in tanks by oblivious humans as they struggle to survive in confinement.
Few writers are better than Montgomery at capturing the wonder of animals without taming them. She writes that the eyes of an Indochinese box turtle evoke “the polished stones you find in a clear stream, and carry with them a hint of a stone’s ancient patience.” Many of Montgomery’s best similes are like this, equating one natural thing to another in a way that suggests a filiating network of correspondences and connections that might ordinarily go unnoticed.
