Hi, this is Betsy from Otto’s. On Canaan’s Side by Sebastian Barry is coming off the press this week. I read an advance and, if you love the beauty and the pain of living in your novels, this is the book for you. It’s the first person account of an Irish immigrant who escaped the “Uprising” in Ireland where her father was the head of the Dublin Metropolitan Police. When she and Tadge, her fellow escapee, are in the Art Institute in Chicago, a man in a great black coat kills Tadge and then disappears into the crowd of art lovers. Fearing for her own life, she runs back to their boarding house, grabs her belongings and takes a train for Cleveland where she drifts until…But I can’t give you anymore of the plot! It’s so full of the good, the bad and the beautiful, intricately woven with surprisingly beautiful narrative you’ll want to read it more than once. On Canaan’s Side—read it, weep, laugh, melt. You’ll find it at Otto’s, a booklover’s paradise in the heart of Downtown Williamsport. |
