REVIEW
Virgil Wander is a story with a sense of place...a sense of community. Leif Enger had fans waiting for 10 years for his return, but the wait was worth it. His newest work is a rich and whimsical tale of loss and rebirth. The town of Greenstone comes to life with this rich ensemble cast of characters. Readers will enjoy getting to know Virgil and his world, as he puts the pieces back together.
PRAISE
“Enger deserves to be mentioned alongside the likes of Richard Russo and Thomas McGuane. Virgil Wander is a lush crowd-pleaser about meaning and second chances and magic. And in these Trumpian times, isn’t that just the kind of book and protagonist we’re all searching for?”―New York Times Book Review
“Enger is a writer to be appreciated by anyone who cares about words. The book is full of little gems.”―Seattle Times
