'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.

Beautifully written...thisdeserves to follow in the footstepsof 2014's big debut novelsThe MiniaturistandElizabeth Is Missing.
Intriguing... aclearandbeautifully unadornedprose style... Hooper has written aninteresting, nuancedandgenuinely movingbook.
Hooper has more or less nailed the'Amelie' charmwith thissweet, disarming story of lasting love...Hooper shows great restraint inbalancing the quirky with the universal, blurring the lines between them. This may be the best novel to meaningfully feature windblown dust. Hooper'ssteady handcreates the perfect setup for the unexpected. To paraphrase Wallace Stevens: A man and a woman are one. Two men, a woman and a coyote are one.
Luminous debut...there'sa lovely musicality to her prose- care and attention have been spent on the rhythms and melody of her words...wonderfully tender.
Her debut novel is amagical, big-heartedbook about one woman's walk to the sea. IfWes Anderson'sstylised dream worldsmake youhappy, you need a copy ofEtta and Otto and Russell and James.
A fan of Audrey Niffenegger and Alice Munro, Hooper'ssense of playfulnesscomes across in the book's gentlemagical realism'
charming, sweet...there is asinging simplicitythat cuts through to the heart of things...freshandtouching

Asweet, redemptivemessage ...Etta's trek as she comes to the end of her life and reckons with the past, hasa real and worthwhile dignityto it.
