On every page Lodato's prose sings with a robust, openhearted wit, making Edgar & Lucy a delight to read. Not to mention the supporting cast he's gathered, a group so eclectic and beguiling ...A riveting and exuberant ride .-Cynthia D'Aprix-Sweeney, The New York Times Book Review " Wonder-filled and magisterial ... Lodato's skill as a poet manifests itself on every page, delighting with such elegant similes and incisive descriptions...The book pushes the boundaries of beauty ."- Chicago Tribune "This otherworldly tale will haunt you."- People Magazine "A stunningly rendered novel"- Entertainment Weekly, "On every page Lodato''s prose sings with a robust, openhearted wit, making Edgar & Lucy a delight to read...Lodato keeps us in his thrall because his grip on the tiller stays reassuringly firm. Not to mention the supporting cast he''s gathered, a group so eclectic and beguiling that many of them could carry an entire novel of their own. A riveting and exuberant ride ." - Cynthia D''Aprix-Sweeney, The New York Times Book Review " Wonder-filled and magisterial ...Lodato''s skill as a poet manifests itself on every page, delighting with such elegant similes and incisive descriptions...His skill as a playwright shines in every piece of dialogue...And his skill as a fiction writer displays itself in his virtuoso command of point of view. The book pushes the boundaries of beauty ." - Chicago Tribune "Edgar isn''t like other boys and Lucy isn''t like other moms, but grandma Florence keeps them tied to reality. And then their lives take a sharp turn...This otherworldly tale will haunt you." - People Magazine "A stunningly rendered novel" - Entertainment Weekly " I love this book . At once profoundly spiritual and hilariously specific, Victor Lodato''s Edgar and Lucy is an unusual and intimate epic that manages to capture the wonder and terror of both child and parenthood with an uncanny clarity . The surprising prose is a pleasure, and never ceases to remind us how fragile human life is yet how unshakeable the bonds. Edgar and Lucy will have you reading til 4am , then reaching for the closest warm body." - Lena Dunham, bestselling author of Not That Kind of Girl "This tale gradually exerts a fiendish grip on the reader"--Helen Simonson, author of Major Pettigrew''s Last Stand "I tore through the luminous pages of Edgar and Lucy as if possessed. Edgar''s journey from boy to man is that rare tale that''s both epic and intimate , as joyful and startlingly original in its language as it is a pleasure to read. The tender, funny, living immediacy of its characters and what is revealed to us about human nature through their twists of fate took my breath away. What this book has to say about love and truth will stay with me for a very, very long time." - Sophie McManus, author of The Unfortunates " Edgar and Lucy is a quirky coming-of-age novel that deepens into something dark and strange without losing its heart or its sense of wonder . Victor Lodato writes with lyrical precision and unfailing compassion for his characters." - Tom Perrotta, bestselling author of The Leftovers "Victor Lodato may be our bard of the sadness, humor, and confusion of loss. He senses the absurdities and elation of mourning and childhood with a capacious precision that brings to mind J.D. Salinger, Lorrie Moore, Karen Russell, even James Joyce . Edgar and Lucy will make you feel things you haven''t felt in ages. Go read it right now. " - Daniel Torday, author of The Last Flight of Poxl West "Victor Lodato''s work is complex, elegant , disturbing , beautifully written, and, above all, important . I can say without hesitation that he is a writer who gives me hope for the future of serious literature." - Lynn Freed, author of The Servants'' Quarters Praise for Mathilda Savitch: A phenomenal debut...Lodato indelibly captures the fragile vulnerability and fearless bravado of adolescence through Mathilda''s impeccable voice, one that rages with alienation, frustration, and confusion as much as it aches with hope, wonder, and desire. - Booklist (starred review) "Compulsively readable...Both mature adolescents and adult readers will find much to love in Lodato''s remarkable creation." - Kirkus Reviews (starred review) "From page one, the outrageous, pitch-perfect voice of this book grabs you up and won''t let go. A bravura Performance." - Mary Kaar, author of The Liars Club "Engaging and humorous yet grappling with serious issues." - Library Journal (starred review)

And then their lives take a sharp turn...This otherworldly tale will haunt you."-- People "A stunningly rendered novel."-- Entertainment Weekly "A quirky coming-of-age novel that deepens into something dark and strange without losing its heart or its sense of wonder ." --Tom Perrotta, bestselling author of The Leftovers Edgar and Lucy is a page-turning literary masterpiece, a stunning examination of family love and betrayal. Eight-year-old Edgar Fini remembers nothing of the accident people still whisper about. He only knows that his father is gone, his mother has a limp, and his grandmother believes in ghosts. When Edgar meets a man with his own tragic story, the boy begins a journey into a secret wilderness where nothing is clear, not even the line between the living and the dead. In order to save her son, Lucy has no choice but to confront the demons of her past. Profound, shocking, and beautiful, Edgar and Lucy is a thrilling adventure and the unlikeliest of love stories. "This tale gradually exerts a fiendish grip on the reader." --Helen Simonson, author of Major Pettigrew's Last Stand " I tore through the luminous pages of Edgar and Lucy as if possessed ...What this book has to say about love and truth will stay with me for a very, very long time."--Sophie McManus, author of The Unfortunates " I love this book .

- h***c (33)- Feedback left by buyer.Past 6 monthsVerified purchaseIt was a good experience with the seller. Only thing is I have a few minor complaints, the book had a slight rip at the back and a few folded/torn pages. Otherwise the item is as described and is in ok condition. For the value, you can't go wrong with 2 books for the price of one given that these are expensive individually. The packaging was good as it ensured that there would be no damage to the product during shipment. The shipping time was pretty good too.Miles Edgeworth Ace Attorney Investigations Vol 1 & 2 Manga Books Lot English (#176811073488)
