The Story of Edgar Sawtelle


Written by David Wroblewski, this Oprah pick is set in the wilds of Wisconsin near the Chequamegon National Forest. It takes place before the spread of cell phone use and is an amazingly fascinating family saga, loosely based on the Hamlet story. The Sawtelles raise special dogs that are trained before they are sold—who would have dreamed dog training could be so interesting? Edgar doesn’t fit his surname—he can see, but he can’t tell because he is mute.--Barb P.
