I was provided an advance copy of this novel from the publisher, Grove Press, through Netgalley and Bookishfirst.

Virgil Wander is a breath of fresh air. Charming, smart, and perfectly unforgettable. I haven't rooted so hard for a character in a long time. This book will make you want to curl up under a warm blanket with a cup of tea and read for hours on end. I feel sad for whatever books I read next. They have a lot to live up to.

This was my first Leif Enger book and it definitely will not be my last. He writes with beauty and his characters walk off the page, his settings become real and tangent. I completely fell in love with Virgil. His unassuming presence filled the page and made every character he came in contact with even better. This one was a pleasure.
