Book description
October 12, 2023
Dear Friend,
I've just finished The Story of Edgar Sawtelle on audiobook, and I'm still sitting in the quiet, trying to make sense of how deeply it settled into me. I'd heard whispers-how Wroblewski writes about silence, about dogs speaking louder than words-but hearing it narrated? It was like the story breathed right into my living room.
The narrator, a calm, steady voice, never rushed. And that silence Edgar carries? It wasn't empty. It was felt. When he signed to his mother, or when Almondine nudged his hand, the audiobook made me lean closer, as if I could hear the quiet thump of a dog's paw on wood, the rustle of leaves outside the barn. You don't just read about the Wisconsin woods; you hear the wind through the pines, the rain on the roof, the creak of the old barn. It's immersive like that.
Edgar's world-his parents, the dogs, the rhythm of the farm-felt so real, so safe, before the uncle came. And oh, the way the narrator let the tension build... you could feel the unease in every pause. When Edgar's father dies, and Claude steps in, the silence after the news hits? The audiobook made it ache. I almost stopped the recording to catch my breath.
Then Edgar runs. Into the wild. And the story shifts-raw, urgent. The narrator's voice grew sharper, more urgent, matching Edgar's struggle to survive. You hear the fear in his breath, the way he talks to the dogs (Almondine, Shadow, and the young pup) through gestures, through presence. The dogs aren't just characters; they're the heartbeat of the story, and the audiobook makes their loyalty sound like a language all its own.
I kept thinking: How does a mute boy tell a story like this? But Wroblewski doesn't need words for Edgar. The narrator's voice, the sound of the rain on the barn, the way the woods feel in the quiet-those are the words. The book isn't about what Edgar can't say. It's about everything he does say, without speaking. And the audiobook makes that truth resonate.
I finished it late last night, tears on my cheeks, not because it was sad, but because it was true. The way it explores family, loss, and the unspoken bonds we carry-that's what stuck with me. The narrator didn't just tell the story. They let it live in the space between the words.
If you've ever felt words fail you, or wondered what it's like to be understood without speaking... listen to this. It's not just a story. It's a reminder that some of the deepest things we say are never spoken at all.

P.S. Almondine's loyalty? I cried when she did her part. And yes, the narrator did make the rain sound like a whisper.
