«La Valse lente des tortues» is the novel by Katherine Pancol, published by LGF/Le Livre de Poche in paperback (752 pages, in French).
Sequel to «Les Yeux jaunes des crocodiles», it follows Joséphine, who after her editorial success and her husband's departure tries to rebuild her life in an elegant Parisian neighbourhood while raising her daughters. The plot mixes everyday life, love and desire with several mysteries: a disturbing neighbour, a series of murders and an assault that makes her a target, in a story about characters who advance stubbornly like tortoises in a world that is too fast.
It is part of the «Joséphine» series, as the second instalment.
Recommended for readers of contemporary French fiction who enjoy character-driven novels, humour and intrigue set in Paris.
