Currently Reading The Story of Edgar Sawtelle

I was given this book months ago as a gift and I’m about halfway through.  The writing is beautiful but it is a rather slow-moving story.  Thus far The Story of Edgar Sawtelle appears to be a coming-of-age story for a mute boy who raises dogs in the family business.  Some chapters are written from the perspective of Almondine, the family dog – reminding me of The Art of Racing in the Rain.

It’s a long book – so it will take me a while to finish.  But I really do like the long ones because sometimes I just don’t want a book to end.
