À propos de cet audio

 LONGLISTED FOR CANADA READS 2025

“Etta and Otto and Russell and James is incredibly moving, beautifully written and luminous with wisdom. It is a book that restores one's faith in life even as it deepens its mystery. Wonderful!” —Chris Cleave, #1 New York Times Bestselling Author of Little Bee

“I've gone. I've never seen the water, so I've gone there. I will try to remember to come back.”

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 neighbour Russell remembers too, but differently—and he still loves Etta as much as he did more than fifty years ago, before she married Otto.

Etta and Otto and Russell and James is a love story that spans fifty years, three lives, two continents and an ocean. It is a story of love and joy, pain and passion, memory and forgetting—and one incredible journey. Fiction de genre Fiction femmes Fiction littéraire

It takes you back to simpler times with a warm feeling story of family and friends connections. Normally I choose non fiction or business titles but this escapism left me feeling calm and settled. Great read/listen.

Loved this story

I mostly enjoyed this book. The writing was musical, the characters often charming, and the narration well suited. But I had to suspend all sense of time and place to relax and enjoy it. There were many jumps forward and back in time, and many viewpoint changes, that I didn’t always know where we were, physically and timewise. Some of the characters had similar sounding names, so listening on audio I could never fully be sure I knew who was speaking - and without rewinding, I had to just go with it. I wanted to love this book more than I did, but I didn’t understand it most of the time.

Mostly enchanting

I was left wanting for just a little bit more - I don’t particularly like making up my own ending - prefer to see (or hear) it. However I did enjoy hearing the life stories of all involved and even James was most entertaining.

Beautifully written and poignant story, but the jumping around in time and occasional twilight zone moments were confusing.

While it was an interesting book, at the end, I was left very confused about what happened (or didn't happen). I feel like I just wasted time and money listening to this.
