A review by theconstantreader
Etta and Otto and Russell and James by Emma Hooper
5.0
I'm enamoured with this book. I thoroughly enjoyed it. I loved each of the characters, the way the book was structured and the overall story.
The language in this book is so moving, close to poetic in parts. A highlighters dream.
Each of the interweaving stories between Etta, Otta and Russell are so interesting and so well done. I think Hooper caught the depths and complexities of their individual relationships and circumstances so perfectly. How complex yet absurd life can be. Are we in fact chess pieces in a higher strategy or not? Do we really seek the answer?
When Etta asked "Hey Bryony, what are your stories?", I thought this is something we should all be asking other people.
Oh, and Russell, most of all, I hold a special place in my heart for him. Don't we all?
