Edgar & Lucy: A Novel

“Edgar isn’t like other boys and Lucy isn't like other moms . . . And then their lives take a sharp turn . . . This otherworldly tale will haunt you.” —People Magazine 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. “On every page Lodato's prose sings with a robust, openhearted wit, making Edgar & Lucy a delight to read . . . 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 . . . 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 “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, New York Times–bestselling author of The Leftovers
