A riveting family saga, THE STORY OF EDGAR SAWTELLE explores the deep and ancient alliance between humans and dogs, and the power of fate through one boy's epic journey into the wild. Wroblewski is a master storyteller, and his breathtaking scenes - the elemental north woods, the sweep of seasons, an iconic American barn, a ghost made of falling rain - create a family saga that is at once a brilliantly inventive retelling of Hamlet, an exploration of the limits of language, and a compulsively readable modern classic.
