"Balthazar Jones, a retired military man, is now a Beefeater living in the Tower of London with his family and his 181-year-old pet tortoise named Mrs. Cook. When the queen decides that her menagerie of donated animals should return to live at the Tower as they had centuries before, Balthazar becomes their keeper. This is a touching family story, as well as a delightfully whimsical and zany tale of man and beast.

So they changed the title? This was my WOW a few weeks ago and then I snagged a copy from Goodreads First Reads under the title: The Tower, The Zoo, and The Tortoise: A Novel. I have to say I like the "new" title more! I'm still waiting for my review copy to arrive but I'm really looking forward to reading it.
