The Story of Edgar Sawtelle: An Oprah's Book Club Pick (P.S.)

An Oprah's Book Club Pick #1 New York Times Bestseller “A mystery, a thriller, a ghost story, and a literary tour de force . . . an authentic epic, long and lush, full of back story and observed detail . . . the author exercises a certain magic that catches and holds our attention, a magic that is undeniably his own.”—Los Angeles Times Book Review Born mute, speaking only in sign, Edgar Sawtelle leads an idyllic life on his family’s farm in remote northern Wisconsin, where for generations they have raised and trained an extraordinary breed of dog in this sweeping family saga. But when tragedy mysteriously strikes, Edgar is forced to flee into the vast neighboring wilderness, accompanied by three yearling dogs. He comes of age in the wild, struggling for survival, until the day Edgar is forced to choose between leaving forever and returning home to learn the truth behind what has happened. Filled with breathtaking scenes—the elemental north woods, the sweep of seasons, an iconic American barn, a fateful vision rendered in the falling rain—the Oprah’s Book Club pick The Story of Edgar Sawtelle is a meditation on the limits of language and what lies beyond, a brilliantly inventive Hamlet retelling that becomes an epic tale of devotion, betrayal, and courage in the American heartland.
