Curious what Familiaris<\/strong><\/em><\/a>\u00a0<\/strong><\/em><\/a>is about? Check out the following description provided by the publisher.<\/p>\n

The follow-up to the beloved #1 New York Times bestselling modern classic The Story of Edgar Sawtelle, Familiaris is the stirring origin story of the Sawtelle family and the remarkable dogs that carry the Sawtelle name.<\/em><\/p>\n

It is spring 1919, and John Sawtelle\u2019s imagination has gotten him into trouble \u2026 again. Now John and his newlywed wife, Mary, along with their two best friends and their three dogs, are setting off for Wisconsin\u2019s northwoods, where they hope to make a fresh start\u2014and, 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, and it will take all their ingenuity, along with a few new friends\u2014human, animal, and otherworldly\u2014to realize their dreams.<\/em><\/p>\n

By turns hilarious and heartbreaking, mysterious and enchanting, Familiaris takes readers on an unforgettable journey from the halls of a small-town automobile factory, through an epic midwestern firestorm and an ambitious WWII dog-training program, and far back into mankind\u2019s ancient past, examining the dynamics of love and friendship, the vexing nature of families, the universal desire to create something lasting and beautiful, and of course, the species-long partnership between Homo sapiens and Canis familiaris.<\/em> – Blackstone Publishing<\/p>\n
