Book Number One


Felt lukewarm about this book. Read the book for my Stillwater book club. Missed the discussion because I was taking part in the Corepower Yoga Nutrition program. Club members felt overall that Wroblewski was overambitious in the design of his first novel and wished that the novel had ended when Edgar returned. I personally loved Almondine and was devastated when he died but more so when Edgar left him behind. Overall, it was hard to love the characters and particularly Claude and Edgar's mother.

I wouldn't necessarily recommend especially if one is not too fond of dogs. Luckily, I am fond.
