The Story of Edgar Sawtelle, David Wroblewski

the story of edgar sawtelle david wroblewskiSummary:  Mute Edgar lives with his parents and several dogs on a farm.  A series of tragic events lead Edgar to flee into the mountains with three dogs while he plans how to right the wrongs which led to his father’s death.

Thoughts:  Beautiful descriptions, and very unusual protagonist, and story, and not knowing how it’s going to end kept me reading with bated breath.  What a shame this is David’s only novel.  I’ve been waiting for years for a follow-up, but he probably knows that if you’ve created a masterpiece, it should stand alone in all it’s glory.check book price here
