The Eels and Turtles of Lake Baccarat — Charles Gill
The Eels and Turtles of Lake Baccarat truly is the ‘Song of the Otway'. Told in the narrative of a descendant of the original Otway Indians that inhabited this once remote corner of what is now Ohio, Charles Gill brings the story to life with wonderfully descriptive writing in a story spanning generations.
Tragedy and upheaval befall the Otway as white settlers relentlessly move west, overrunning the land they call home. But what of the settlers themselves? What is there story? This is also told with compassion and understanding, showing that there was indeed tragedy on both sides.
As the story flows through the ages, characters are born, grow, and eventually die, leaving their mark on the landscape and in the hearts of their loved ones. All except the mysterious ‘Bag', who seems to be live through time, appearing as a guide to many along the way.
