as readable and gripping as any thriller.' - The Times
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.
