Author of “Familiaris
 

#1 bestselling novelist David Wroblewski presents the long-awaited follow-up to the beloved modern classic “The Story of Edgar Sawtelle.” It is spring 1919, and John Sawtelle and his newlywed wife, Mary, along with their three dogs, are setting off for Wisconsin's northwoods, where they hope to make a fresh start--and, with a little luck, discover what it takes to live a life of meaning, purpose, and adventure. But the place they are headed for is far stranger and more perilous than they realize. By turns hilarious and heartbreaking, mysterious and enchanting, “Familiaris” is the stirring origin story of the Sawtelle family and the remarkable dogs that carry the Sawtelle name.
