Etta and Otto and Russell and James by Emma Hooper. “This is adorable much like The Storied Life of A.J. Fikery and The Rosie Project. The author has a unique writing style that grabbed me immediately and I didn't put the book down until I finished. It has some magical realism and is a sweet, poignant story about an 83 year old woman who has never seen the ocean and walks across Canada to get there. Along the way, we learn about her life and loves and meet a talking coyote who becomes my favorite character. It's partly set during WWII and is lovely and heart-warming!”
