Description
‘Genuinely moving’ Guardian’Delightful’ Mail on Sunday’Charming, fresh, touching . . . cuts through to the heart’ Sunday Times ‘Tell me about home, please. Tell me about the weather. About the heat or dust or still-ness. Anything. And tell me about you. I keep your photo on the side without the gun. For balance.’This is a love story that spans fifty years, three lives, two continents and an ocean. It tells of school teacher Etta, who settles in the Canadian prairies during the Great Depression and of the two pupils who fall in love with her: Russell, a city boy who takes to farming despite his twisted leg, and Otto, who struggles in school but always tries hard – even when he’s sent to fight a war in a distant land. It is a story of love and joy, pain and passion, memory and forgetting – and one incredible journey. It is the story of Etta and Otto and Russell and James.

| About The Author | Emma Hooper is the author of Etta and Otto and Russell and James. As a musician, her solo project 'Waitress for the Bees' tours internationally and has earned her a Finnish Cultural Knighthood. She is also a research-lecturer at Bath Spa University, in the Commercial Music department, but goes home to cross-country ski in Canada as much as she can afford. |
Writing that easily equals that of the Booker-winning Richard Flanagan…[and] as readable and gripping as any thriller. Only the thrills offered by this bright new star of literature are metaphysical and unexpected and will leave you thinking on a new level about the connections between men, women and places. |
|
| Other text | Beautifully written…this deserves to follow in the footsteps of 2014's big debut novels The Miniaturist and Elizabeth Is Missing. |
