The Story of Edgar Sawtelle: A Novel (Oprah Book Club #62) (Hardcover)ASIN: 0061768065
Customer Review: From the moment I read the Publisher's Weekly starred review in June on The Story of Edgar Sawtelle: A Novel by David Wroblewski, I knew I had to read the book. It did take some time, but it was worth every moment. (I'll admit that I read some non-fiction in between--if for no other reason than to make the novel last longer!) If you love animals--especially dogs--and believe in their power of communication and their ability to love, this book is a must read. I was entranced from the start, as The Sawtelle's raise a fictional breed of dog, known to be exceptional at understanding humans. The hero, Edgar,a mute, bonds with his favorite dog, Almondine. How they communicated with such intensity and depth was deeply moving. The novel is a thriller and does not disappoint. While the novel deeply explores the communication between dog and human, it is also a book about humans' nature--bad and good. The Story of Edgar Sawtelle will, no doubt,take an exalted place next to other great literature. Congratulations, David Wroblewski! Author of the award winning book, HARMONIOUS ENVIRONMENT
