"The Story of Edgar Sawtelle"

A novel by David Wroblewski. This is a wonderful story about three generations of dog breeders. Not pedigrees. Just well thought out breeding, record keeping and endless training. The last of the Sawtelle line is a young Edgar who was born mute. He had hearing but no voice. Not even a grunt. He lead an idyllic life with his parents on their farm in remote northern Wisconsin. Life changes when Edgar's Uncle Claude shows up. Suddenly there is turmoil between Claude and Edgar's Father. Old arguments are fought anew. When Edgar's Father dies suddenly, Claude insinuates himself into the family and the grief stricken Edgar leaves after he fails to prove that his Uncle was responsible for the Father's death. He can't stay away forever and returns after several months to try to once again find the proof he needs to destroy his Uncle. This caused me a sleepless night. Kept trying to put it down and couldn't. David Wroblewski is a master storyteller. I'm moving this author to my list of Authors to continue to read.

One interview down and one to go. Made it through the first round and now I have to meet the manager. Might have a shot at a little higher level job then originally thought.
