Novel Discussion book club

We’ll discuss ‘Etta and Otto and Russell and James’ by Emma Hooper at the Eaton Library on Thursday, March 16, at 6:30 p.m. From GoodReads: “Etta’s greatest unfulfilled wish, living in the rolling farmland of Saskatchewan, is to see the sea. And so, at the age of eighty-two she gets up very early one morning, takes a rifle, some chocolate, and her best boots, and begins walking the 2,000 miles to water.

“Meanwhile her husband Otto waits patiently at home, left only with his memories. Their neighbor Russell remembers too, but differently – and he still loves Etta as much as he did more than fifty years ago, before she married Otto.”
