Kit Masters' self-published novella, Rūta, is advertised as being an allegory about British schools whose students are poor and about a teacher who is intrigued by a female student whose name is Rūta. (No, it’s not a Lolita thing.) The school situation is horrible, and Rūta is, well, there, but the story is about the narrator who is a physics teacher, artist, and writer, and it’s not really about his fixation with Rūta. (There’s no creepy element here.) Instead, the narrator is a complex character, and it’s his experiences as a teacher, artist, and writer that intrigue me. The narrator has a distinctive voice, and the inclusion of art in this book adds to the novella’s uniqueness. This book is a free ebook on Amazon for those who have Amazon Prime, and I recommend it to those who want to try something smartly different.
The author has a very short trailer for Rūta:
