The riveting epic of an American family living at the edge of the wilderness, THE STORY OF EDGAR SAWTELLE captures the magic of the deep and ancient alliance between humans and dogs, and the unyielding power of fate and tragedy; this is a journey along the thin path that runs between the wild and the tame. Wroblewski is a master storyteller, and his breathtaking scenes-the elemental north woods, the sweep of seasons, a great American barn, a ghost made of falling rain-create a contemporary retelling of Hamlet that is an utterly compelling and compulsive read.
