The Story of Edgar Sawtelle, by David Wroblewski


Imagine a 562 page book that you CAN NOT PUT DOWN: History. Family. Dogs. Evil. Poison. Magic.

If you would like to read an interview with David Wroblewski in New York Magazine about his book and its Hamlet themes, go here.

Whoohoo! This one is my next download from audible.com. Sounds like I need to plan for a REAL long hike with Smooch. Thanks for the link.

You know, I kind of had you in mind as a person who would like this book, Linda. I think Smooch would like it, too.

Looks like a good book. I just finished Escape by Carolyn Jessop a week or so ago. Now, my daughter is reading it. Neither of us could put it down.

Judy, if you recommend it, I'll read it. I'm adding it to my Shelfari list of books I plan to read right now. Thank you!

By the way, Judy, you might like Rapture of Canaan, which I wrote about a while back. The description of Escape makes it sound a bit similar--life of a woman inside a fundamentalist sect.

I LOVED this book too!
