Ann Napolitano's wonderful "Hello Beautiful" was so rich, I had to have more. I picked up "Dear Edward," a beautiful tragedy rife with the whole spectrum of textured, complex human emotion in every size, shape and dimension without being cloying. This story will break your heart and you will yearn for the pieces to fall back together again. It's a window I hope never to have to look into myself.
A small boy loses his family and everything he knows yet he survives...or does he? He is too young to understand let alone deal will his loss, grief, guilt and longing, nor understand the complicated people who try to love him whole- themselves all in stages of anger, loss, grief and despair. A true masterpiece that felt so true, I kept hoping it was. Well done, Ann!
