Resumen del Editor

Oprah’s Book Club Pick for Summer 2024

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.

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. 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—human, animal, and otherworldly—to realize their dreams.

By turns hilarious and heartbreaking, mysterious and enchanting, Familiaris takes listeners 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’s 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.

Great read!

I really enjoyed this story, well done! I highly recommend, time well spent for certain.

Excellent narrator

Amazing. True storytelling is a rarity. Narrator is fantastic. I highly recommend both of this authors books!

I didn’t want it to end

I was sad when the book ended. I laughed, cried, was entertained and totally immersed in this outstanding story. There are no words to describe how talented this author is in story telling. Oprah could not have picked a better book.

Love of dogs and friends

The best book I’ve listened to in years. Lived every minute of it! Laughed and cried.

Y h a beautiful story

Loved the humanistic side of life and 15 words Is way tooooo much to expect

Absolutely brilliant characters

This is several deep love stories, an epic family saga, and a paen to dogs.

Mid-story there was a point at which I had to decide whether or not to finish because of the subject matter. After a day I dove back in and powered through. (You might do the same but be strong. You can do it!)

In the end I loved this book.

Richard Poe is the perfect voice for “Familiaris” and makes a wonderful story truly unforgettable.

just beautiful

Interesting characters, wonderful story, and a story that will be with me for time to come. Highly recommend.

Long - like a family visit

This story was like a visit with family. Visit a bit then go your own way and come back for another visit, sometimes during a long road trip and sometimes while quietly sewing.

Stellar in every way

An engrossing story, touching, funny, and beautifully written with indelible characters. Haven’t read The Story of Edgar Sawtell yet, but going there next. Great reader who set the perfect tone to match the period, the people and the flow of events. I miss them already!

Twists

The performance was excellent and the plot unusual. I like the story being told from the psychics view and that of the other characters and how they are joined. At the beginning I was hesitant but I got sucked in and could not stop listening
