Fascinating story of the Sawtelle family, breeders of the famous Sawtelle companion dogs, of bitter sibling rivalry, the bond between man and dog, and of Edgar Sawtelle who was born unable to utter a sound but with the ability to see beyond the limitations of physical space and time.
Although this is clearly based on Shakespeare's "Hamlet," the richly multilayered plot keeps you riveted to the pages while the family's tragedy unreels before you. Obviously very carefully researched with fascinating insight into training of companion dogs and life in a tiny town near Lake Superior.
This book is so flawlessly and beautifully written that it left me wanting more, just to continue to enjoy Mr. Wroblewski's prose.
