The Story of Edgar Sawtelle |
One of the finest novels I have read. A new and intelligent twist on Hamlet. Edgar, born inexplicably mute but communicating with his own sign language, lives an idyllic life in Wisconsin with his beloved parents who breed rare dogs, unique nearly human animals . . . but then Edgar's uncle returns mysteriously and their lives are transformed. Beautifully written, the author communicates a dog's innermost feelings as brilliantly as he tells us of our own.
