Thursday Evening Book Discussion Group

This daring novel is a modern take on Hamlet set in rural Wisconsin. The young hero, born mute, communicates with people, dogs, and the occasional ghost through his own mix of sign and body language. The author’s extraordinary use of language immerses readers in a living, breathing world that is both fantastic and utterly believable. In selecting for temperament and a special intelligence, Edgar's grandfather started a line of unusual dogs--the Sawtelles--and his sons carried on his work. But among human families, undesirable traits aren't so easily predicted, and clashes can erupt with tragic force.
