Otto Bookstore

Hi, this is Betsy from Otto’s.  What happens to the enforcers of the genocides we hear so much about in various times and places around the world?  If they’re lucky, they forget.  That’s what happened to Emmett Conn in the new novel Gendarme.  Emmett is a 92 year old retired builder with a tumor at the base of his brain.  They’re going to operate and follow up with radiation and medication.  He had a head injury before…during the Great War and he hasn’t been able to remember anything before waking up in a British hospital in 1915.  Now, in dreams, he remembers.  He remembers force-marching Armenians out of Turkey—a million of them died.  He remembers one girl he protected from the likes of himself.  He loved her and now that he remembers, he wants to find her and say he was sorry he couldn’t bring her out of the hell he found her in.  He couldn’t bring her with him to America.  Read Gendarme.  It will haunt you.  You’ll find it at Otto’s, a booklover’s paradise in the heart of Downtown Williamsport.
