This wandering and surprisingly philosophical tale is something I didn’t realize I needed. It is one of those books that is hard to fully describe or categorize, but is certainly an experience you’ll want to take your time having. This is a prequel to The Story of Edgar Sawtelle and follows Edgar’s grandparents from their young twenties almost all of the way to where the original story begins. As someone who had not read The Story of Edgar Sawtelle prior to picking this one up, I can safely say that you will not at all be lost if you choose to tackle this one first. However, this is a slower paced read where you really have to be there for vibes. You will definitely know if this is a book for you pretty quickly, so it is worth getting a preview if you are unsure before fully diving into the hefty tome. But if you are willing to hang, I think this is a very enjoyable and impactful read.

**Pro: Life and man’s best friend**

When his car breaks down on the way home from exchanging puppies, John Sawtelle finds himself wandering the back roads of Wisconsin with his new companion, Gus. In their search for temporary refuge, the two come across an abandoned farm for sale. John doesn’t realize it at the time, but this fateful discovery will be the start of his life’s work. However, it will take a village to turn a promising vision into reality.

Joe is a thinker and has a natural curiosity that gives this book a very philosophical feel. I wouldn’t call this a character novel in the traditional sense, but each character brings their own dynamic, experiences, and view of life that we get to experience through their interactions with Joe. How each of the characters grows and finds their way is also incredibly meaningful and gratifying. Things only get better as the dogs begin to play a bigger role in the story. This book definitely goes to some dark and challenging places, but in a way that feels gentle and reflective rather than heavy.

**The Breakdown: Meandering**

As much as I loved this book, I do think mileage will vary depending on the reader. This story is one that you are meant to take your time with and moves at a slower pace. Unlike a lot of slower books where you get bogged down in emotions or detail, this pace is more due to the story meandering along with John’s train of thought as the story unfolds. Where everything ties together well and nothing strays too far from the golden path, the ‘scenes’ do jump back and forth in time, preventing things from developing too quickly. I personally never felt bogged down or stuck, but you have to be willing to go with the flow to some extent.

Reading this book, it feels to me like Wroblewski had a lot more to share about the Sawtelle family after writing The Story of Edgar Sawtelle and wanted to share it in one book rather than splitting it into two different books. The story works well as a single piece, but the span of time covered is much longer than its predecessor and so results in a book that is nearly twice as long. I say that mileage can vary here despite having a very strong book because it’s not just slow paced, it’s also 992 pages long. I had plenty of dedicated reading time for this book alone, but I also read it alongside a couple of others since it is one you don’t want to rush through. Giving myself permission to approach it that way (taking short breaks and coming back) really worked for me, but other readers might find the length intimidating and/or have a different experience trying to tackle this book.

This is a prequel to the book The Story of Edgar Sawtelle. The main character of Familiaris is John Sawtelle (Edgar’s grandfather) and the book begins with John being a young man looking for property to buy for him and his bride to be, Mary. Once he purchases a farm, two old friends join John and Mary in their new lives. We read about the training of the dogs and the births of Edgar and Claude. This is a chunker of a book (probably could have been edited down quite a bit in my opinion) but if you stick with it you’ll discover a story that is rich and worth your time and effort.

Thank you to NetGalley and Blackstone Publishing for a copy of this book. All opinions are my own.

I will post on Amazon and Goodreads/social media on publication day.

Brilliant. Yes, a hefty book, but well worth it. If you read The Story of Edgar Sawtelle and fell in love with it, then you must read this book.

It's the history of Edgar Sawtelle's family, yes, but it's very profound and rich. It's about friendship, love, hate, the evil things humans will do to animals, and to each other. It's about brothers. It's about things more ancient than we. It's about the lines crossed that we can't come back from.

"Suppose you could do one impossible thing?" -John Sawtelle

Suppose you could read one impossibly long book? Don't let the length of this book steer you away from diving into it.
This book was all things: historical fiction with a dash of fantasy, a coming-of-age story, a family saga, love story, friendship story, and so many more things.
The book tells the story of John and Mary Sawtelle, and begins with them falling in love at a time in which John is trying to discover his purpose and place in the world. As the book unfolds, they buy and move to a farmhouse in the country despite having no knowledge of what it will take to repair, restore, and maintain the farm. They are joined by a rag-tag team of friends and acquaintances, including a disgruntled, drug-addicted, disabled war vet, a quiet gentle giant of a carpenter, and an old man and his beloved horse (whom he happened to have stolen from his employer), and a few really great dogs. The team learns to live with and take care of each other, and restores the farm and finds a home together there. As time goes on, the friends each set off on their own life journeys and John and Mary become parents to two boys, and use the farm to start a dog business. They don't just breed and sell dogs, though. They selectively assess and cross and evaluate dogs until they have developed their own type of "Sawtelle dog" which becomes sought after nationwide.
They also become friends with the neighborhood grocer, who has rescued and adopted a girl with supernatural powers. This is a minor sub-plot; if this isn't your "thing," I still wouldn't avoid the book for that reason alone.
The book had me laughing at times, crying at others, wishing I could both slow down and speed up the story at various points. It reads like an old classic; while the length of the book is hard to look past in our modern era of "hurry up and get to the point," it was actually rewarding to be forced into enjoying the slow burn of this saga unfolding. My only concern is that no one will actually attempt to read it being scared away by its enormous size. This could have easily been split up into two books.
Admittedly, this was not a book I probably would have ever given a chance had it not been for receiving an ARC through NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. That being said, I will be recommending this book to anyone up for the challenge.
A great read for anyone who enjoys a saga, who loves dogs, who enjoys beautiful writing and rich, deep character development, or who appreciates a deep dive into motivations, grief, love, and friendship- "an experiment in what happens when a hopeless optimist comes up against an immovable object."

I received this from Netgalley.com.

I liked the fist book but feel this one, at 1100+ pages, may be just a tad too much, my interest waned at mid book.

3☆

At 1164 (kindle) pages, this is not a story you can read in a day, nor should you try. This is a book to sink into and spend time inside the pages, but if you read and loved ‘The Story of Edgar Sawtelle’, one of my all-time favourite reads, you will likely not need any encouragement to tackle this mammoth tome, as it shares the story of the years before ’The Story of Edgar Sawtelle’ begins.

’Familiaris’ shares the story of the years before ’The Story of Edgar Sawtelle’ begins. It is a long and winding road of a journey, but it is a journey you won’t want to miss, especially if you read and loved ’The Story of Edgar Sawtelle’.

This story begins slowly, with John Sawtelle in the early years of his life as an adult, which share the years as he and his soon-to-be wife are young and somewhat naive, but also filled with hope for the future. When John comes across a farm that appears deserted that is for sale, he envisions a life there and despite how little funds they have, he knows in his heart that this will be their home, and that despite all the work needed, that they will thrive there. This is where they will begin the work of raising and training exceptional dogs, and where they will raise their children when they come into their lives, as well.

With an old friend, Elbow, by his side, along with Frank, another old friend and a veteran of the war, and So Jack with his horse, Grandaddy, make a great team. Each has their flaws, some physical as a result of the war, but each is eager to help turn this place into something special. Their enthusiasm for what they are creating is what keeps them working hard.

When the dogs enter the picture, there is a tangible sense of change, an essence of both assurance and pleasure that this is what they are meant to do with their lives, to raise and train these dogs to be exceptional. I remember when I read Edgar Sawtelle how much that made me wonder about the Irish Setter I grew up with, as he was relatively young when he arrived in my life, but he had been sent by a previous couple who had bought him from one of our neighbors, then sent him someplace for obedience, and then returned him to the neighbor that they had purchased him from, and thus he became ours. I grew up with him, technically on him, as that is where I took my naps, who I learned to crawl with, and was, more or less, my babysitter.

There’s so much more to this story, so many wonderful characters who are considered family, as well as those who arrive as the years pass. A story that covers a lifetime of hard work, love, loss, and memories. Of family and those who become family as the story evolves. The journeys they went on, the changes over the years.

And, of course, the dogs.

Many thanks for the ARC provided by Blackstone Publishing

Familiaris is a prequel to The Story of Edgar Sawtelle (SES), relating the back story of the special dogs but mostly centering around John Sawtelle, his wife Mary and friends Frank and Elbow. In a smoothly written style, we learn the details of John's observation and training of the dogs. We follow his family and friends through the years including the birth and raising of Edgar and Claude as well as discover the motivation behind Claude's subsequent actions in SES. Other subplots include finely tuned wood boxes, interludes of the Goddess Nix and gourmet cooking. Familiaris is a wide scope portrait of an American family in the structure of the 20th Century relating many of the values and themes to be found in that context. Adroitly proposed through narration and plotting are many questions; for example, what is the course of life all about? What is our place there? Does hard and virtuous work count more than the complexities of individual identity? Bitter losses and gory life events are counterbalanced by optimism and perhaps even, interestingly, supernatural forces and are not indulged in morbidly. One is left with a sense of satisfaction after gazing across these special years and prepared for the events yet to be in the SES.

Familiaris
by David Wroblewski
Pub Date: June 4, 2024
Thanks to the author, publisher and NetGalley for the ARC of this book in exchange for my honest opinion.
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.
* historical fiction
It is spring 1919, and John Sawtelle’s imagination has gotten him into trouble … again. Now John and his newlywed wife, Mary, along with their two best friends and their three dogs, are setting off for Wisconsin’s northwoods, where they hope to make a fresh start—and, with a little luck, discover what it takes to live a life of meaning, purpose, and adventure.
Familiaris is the prequel to The Story of Edgar Sawtelle. I read Edgar 16 years ago when it was chosen as an Oprah book. That combined with the fact it was written by a local man about a boy and his dog taking place in Northern WI, made it an instant must read for me.
I found the length of the book immediately intimidating. Familiaris is 960 pages long. I re-read The Story of Edgar Sawtelle on the heels of Familiaris and I am so glad I did. The story is darker and heavier than I remembered, perhaps especially so following the gathering light of Familiaris. It is rather amazing how the Edgar story made sense standing alone but so much more sense and depth building upon the foundation of Familiaris. I marveled at the details now that I could see where the threads began.
This is a must read! 5 stars

Familiaris by David Wroblewski follows the Sawtelle family and their dogs as they move throughout the trials and blessings of life. It’s a little bit mysterious, a little bit heartbreaking, and really funny at times. The chapters often alternate between the perspectives of several characters, and there are a lot of characters. The book is long, but engaging and I felt like was part of the family by the end of the novel

Every character is endearing and contributes uniquely to the narrative. You explored the significance of dogs, and I appreciate the emphasis placed on their importance. The book delivered all of that and beyond, making it a captivating and intriguing read for me. The book takes me on a journey that is new to me. So glad I able to read this one. What a good read.

This book is the prequel to 'The story of Edgar Sawtelle' and starts in 1919 going up to 1961. It's an epic tale that could have split up into 3 books, as it's over 950 pages long. I didn't read 'The story of Edgar Sawtelle', but since this is a prequel it worked out fine. It starts with Edgar's grandfather, John Sawtelle taking a long journey through the Wisconsin woods with his wife Mary and 3 dogs. They encounter many obstacles, heartbreak, and joy during this journey.
There are so many characters in this book to keep up with as part of their extended family and new and old friends acquired along the way. There's Elbow, the fix-it man, and Frank, the WWI veteran, who is going through a journey of his own, and Walter, the general store owner. Once they get to their destination and start to set up a new farm, their collection of friends and motley crew comes together and you feel as if you are a part of this family as well. Each character becomes a better person through working on John and Mary's farm, as if it has healing qualities. Later in the book Edgar's father and brother show up. If you read the first book, you'll find these two characters familiar as they are prominently featured there. There's lots of great writing here, it's an atmospheric tale of living off the land in a certain time and place. This book is an ode to Wisconsin farm living, and the relationship between men and dogs.

I have mixed feelings. I waited a long time for this book, so I think I wanted a long story. I got one, but I’m not sure that this story needed to be as long as it was. Parts of it seemed to move too slowly. Nevertheless, it was an enjoyable sequel.

I was very much looking forward to another book by this author. It has been many years since his first book. I thought the story telling here was good with some interesting characters and relationships, but the book was way too long.

I had an opportunity via NetGalley to read Familiaris, the prequel to The Story of Edgar Sawtelle. I read Edgar 15 years ago when it was chosen as an Oprah book. That combined with the fact it was written by a local man about a boy and his dog taking place in Northern WI, made it an instant must read for me. I had read that author David Wroblewski was writing a companion book and have been literally waiting for it. It did not disappoint me.
I found the length of the book immediately intimidating. Familiaris is 960 pages long. Once I committed I luxuriated in some of the complicated words and atmospheric scenes. It lays the groundwork for the Story of Edgar Sawtelle as it begins with his grandfather, John Sawtelle, in early adulthood, the strays – both human and canine - he picks up along the way. It was whimsical at times. We often “hear” John thinking and while occasionally the story gets a little lost in the sauce, the side tales draw the story out and often, me in. They end up in Mellon, WI as John finds a farm there that appears to be empty and for sale. He doesn’t know why but he needs to buy it and puts in an offer without sharing that detail with his betrothed, Mary. Ultimately, through an interesting twist, they buy the property and begin to assemble a motley crew. Each character is likable and brings something to the greater story in their own right. Elbow is a good friend from childhood who is a talented wood maker, Frank is a veteran of the Great War who is sprung from the Veterans hospital and So Jack and his horse, Grandaddy, have their own unusual tale. I found myself rooting for everyone.
Separate from John Sawtelle and his gang, there is a story of Walter who comes upon baby Ida – found in the ash after the Peshtigo fire (I do love a bit of WI history, this fire happened the same night as the Chicago fire. It did not get as much press as a result and devastated the area, it is on record as the deadliest wild fire in the US). Walter and Ida’s story converges with Sawtelle as Walter opens a general store in Popcorn Corners just up a piece from Mellon. There is some magical realism in their story which I found compelling, a bit weird but also delightful.
The story and how it unfolds takes a village, and this is a village I can get behind. It reminds me of button soup, how everyone brings something different to add the broth and the result is glorious. We learn about the dogs, the foundation of all things. We learn how Mary and John shape and develop their unique the dog whelping/ training business. Separate from the dogs, it is as if each character finds their own success while also finding themselves on the farm. Each characters aspiration takes a unique direction and away from the farm but in the end they are friends who are also a chosen family. There is some darkness but I felt it was generally painless and selfless.
Late in the book, we, the reader, learn how Edgar’s dad, Gar, and his brother Claude enter the picture, and the fissure there that grows between them. This difficult relationship is a cornerstone of Edgar’s story. I re-read The Story of Edgar Sawtelle on the heels of Familiaris and I am so glad I did. The story is so much darker and heavier than I remembered, perhaps especially so following the gathering light of Familiaris. It is rather amazing how the Edgar story made sense standing alone but so much more sense and depth building upon the foundation of Familiaris. I marveled at the details now that I could see where the threads began. This book is a 5 star for me because I appreciate nostalgia, atmosphere and well told story, this book brought all of that and more for me. It was a pleasure to read.

Much as I love this author, his subject matter, and his writing style, this book was just too long. It felt as though he was just taking on too many characters and subjects...that this large tome could have been broken up into several stand-alone books. My favorite character by far was Frank. He started out as a surly pain killer addicted crank, who was saved by his friends John and Mary. He ended up wealthy and a softy for helping out his friends. Delightful. Everything and everyone was tied up, I felt, except for Claude. And only at the end do you learn the true author of the book, which makes total sense given the long-winded, adjective-riddled style, but still, too long. Definitely too long for our organization and most book clubs.

this was a strong sequel in this world, the characters felt like they belonged in this world and enjoyed the overall realism of them. It had a great continuation that I was hoping for and thought the elements were beautifully done. David Wroblewski has a a great writing style and had a great overall feel to it. I hope to read more in this world and from David Wroblewski.

A wonderful, heartfelt sequel to the first novel. An author that writes with authentic feeling and soul

This might be the hardest book review I write in 2024.
…..I’m reminded of the childhood ‘Daisy-Flower-petal’ saying….
“she loves me, she loves me not, she loves me, she loves me not, she loves me”.
……ultimately….after all my thoughts, feelings, whining, and sometimes exhaustion, by the end of this novel, I felt deep appreciation, love, and personal growth.
This story highlights the best and worst moments in life, the disgraces, failures, disappointments…..but it also highlights triumphs, gratefulness and love.
And….as only the best books do…..it’s heartbreaking, hilarious, and brilliant ….with extraordinary depth, and beauty.

I’ll begin with the *good stuff*:
….Fifteen years ago David Wroblewski, from North Woods Wisconsin, wrote the most a fabulous debut, “The Story of Edgar Sawtelle” …. a retelling of Hamlet….. but focused on a thirteen mute boy living on a dog farm.
‘A-dog-people-heaven-read’!!!!
I never wanted to put the book down.
Some readers felt 576 pages, was too long. I found it so page-turning enjoyable and remarkable, with breathtaking-meaningful descriptions, that I was never aware of the books length.

*Less good stuff*
(I’ll come back to more ‘good stuff’ later).
….In Wroblewski’s new book, “Familiaris”, ….the follow-up to “The Story of Edgar Sawtelle”, 980 pages ‘does’ feel too long.
Those beautiful breathtaking descriptions from the first novel were less breathtaking this time around, with some scenes feeling nonsensical and irrelevant to the totality of the story.

…. Another *less good*….
….Much of the overall storytelling simply was not ‘as’ special as the first book …..ha, but my goodness the last section was incredibly special….sooooo heartfelt!
[yet….for much of the story, the first half at least, there is much less storytelling about dogs. We were told about the dog’s personalities, but it took much longer to experience them ourselves]. I wanted more doggy feelings sooner. We did learn a little about out three main furry friends:
“Each dog had a style”.
….”Vi, the experienced runaway, approached hunting as a vocation”.
….”Needles, was a born assassin. He considered hunting a pure sport”.
….”Gus adopted a philosophical middle ground: unless an animal ran directly in front of him, he preferred contemplating wildlife to hunting it”.

Another *Less Good*.
…. I could name at least a half dozen 900-1200 page books that I’ve read. I have no problem with doorstoppers when I’m thoroughly enjoying it, and not battling my inner critical chatter.
But my fault-finder ‘did’ creep in. However… it quieted down the further I got on — especially the last half of the book.
I didn’t enjoy judging scenes, then judging myself for judging.
Boy, the brain is a tricky mechanism.

A little content about “Familiaris”:
….In the spring of 1919, we meet John Sawtelle and his wife Mary, their three dogs: Viv, Needles, and Gus, and John’s best friend, Elbow. (later his love interest, Audie).
We follow John, Mary, and Elbow throughout….as well as other memorable characters….Frank Eckling, (loves his Harley Davidson motorcycle….but has physical challenges/prosthesis and grumpy frustration issues),
We meet Walter Paine (owner of Popcorn Corners grocery store), and his daughter,Ida……(awesome, bright, unique daughter).
….We meet ‘dozens’ of more people, as well as dogs.
….The novel is divided into six parts…..ending in the year 1961.
….Chapter I begins in a factory.
[The Kissel Motar Car Company - an American automotive truck manufacturer — was founded in 1906 in Hartford, Wisconsin].
I have a now forever appreciation for the old cars … and even more so for the Wisconsin north woods and my new friends who live in my head …. part of my memory DNA forever!
John Sawtelle work for Louis Kissel. He had this to say:
“A job was a job, nothing more—not a family, not worth loyalty, much less love. Yet at the same time, a factory truly, was like the world. It contained friendship and grace and catastrophe and victory and striving and romance and laughter and betrayal—if you knew to watch for those things. If you knew how to see those things, which everyone did”.
“The factory is also like the world because it contains murder”.
….During the beginning chapters - about the first 20%…we begin to meet many of the characters….as well as we get thrown into some heavy drama right away. [note….looking back now, I could have been a more patient reader…could have trusted Wroblewski and myself more]….
……in actuality, it ‘wasn’t’ as hard to remember every character …major and minor as I feared.

More *GOOD STUFF* ….
….soon the book settles us in. We’re part of the family. We’re experiencing the farm lifestyles, community-living. (drama is never too far away).
….Sooo much more to say:
‘magnum opus’, tour de force’, ‘a grand achievement’…..
….a colorful cast,
… situations that leave you shaking your head, (a couple of scenes I ‘was’ judgmental thinking ‘this is ridiculous’)……but then I punished my inner critic for being such a party-pooper.
….l laughed plenty. I was moved to tears occasionally.
….I got a craving for pancakes even though I haven’t had any in thirty years. I also got a craving for Home Fries and Fish Sticks. (note, this is not a diet book…some yummy cakes present themselves too)….as well as eggs and plenty of coffee.
…..The dialogue is great…. Absurdity is great. Th dogs are great…..
But….its a LONG book that feels long….
…..yet the ending……[sooo moving ….sooo touching]
…..I got teary-eyed wishing to see family that I love and miss terribly.

Short tidbits….
…..expect to visit a hospital, interact with a school teacher, police, read about a murder, meet neighbors, and other farmers, learn family history, be reminded of the influenza that killed so many, meet an attorney by the name John Adamski, visit dreams (molasses in your bed anyone?), take long drives in John’s Kissel, meet Granddaddy (a horse and other horses, Pat being another), and more dogs….(Tomato, Hoppy, Molly, and others), rain, fire, smoke, horrible injuries, a baby who survived a fire, and the inspiring story of the man who saved her — and how ‘she’ in turn saved him, learn about the classic books and Agriculture book John Sawtelle liked to read….
and many touching moments about Mary….from helping her friend who was losing her battle to cancer….to everything else about Mary. (a remarkable woman….the type of woman — all of us wish to be friends with).

I really took to cranky-Frank. (understandably cranky)….
Often he felt powerless, trapped in his body and on a farm….but his growth inspires!!!
Frank’s prosthetic leg was a surprisingly sophisticated piece of equipment …..and in time we see how Frank sophisticatedly gets emotionally stronger.

I loved Elbow. (fun name). He reminded me a little of my own husband. A can do fix and build anything man.
“Elbow’s newest project was building the kitchen table they needed, along with two sitting benches. John’s duties involved, fetching whatever tools were needed, fetching, steadying, and otherwise watching as Elbow chiseled papery curls of wood out of mortise slots, excavated tapered peg holes, and trimmed the pegs to be malleted into those holes”.

I hope others - forgive me (again) for this long review.
It’s not easy writing a review for a 980 page book - avoiding spoilers - trying to give a little flavor - and share my experience truthfully.
But I’m thankful and moved.
Glad to have finished it — more than satisfied with the many takeaways.
The rewards paid off …and even meeting characters from the first book like Almondine, etc….added warmth.

I didn’t always have an easy-breezy ride….but I’ll remember this books value for many years.
If you loved “The Story of Edgar Sawtelle”….and it has stayed with you these past fifteen years….then to ‘not’ read this book is crazy.

Kudos to David Wroblewski. I can’t even imagine what he went through in writing this follow-up-prequel story…..
Truly magnificent. I wish to thank him. Thank you, David!!!

I hope the 980 pages won’t scare readers away. (not everyone needs to take extra time writing pages of note)….
Haha…. then not know what the heck to do with them.
I suggest - unless you plan to write a lengthy review… just keep reading —for enjoyment… (taking notes only slows you way down). lol

As we examine in “Familiaris”….
Life is messy. People are shattered, sad, disappointed, confused, hopeless, yet also resilient…..eager to experience joy, and pride.
We witness many curveballs while journeying through ‘Familiaris’. Our own life experiences expand as we deepen our compassion for generational values: beliefs, respect, loyalty, discipline, diversity, shifts in society, attitudes and culture.
And . . .
…..Wroblewski never forgets what’s most important…. love & friendships…with a passion for our canine-bow-wow buddies.
