Eight-year-old Edgar remembers nothing of the terrible accident people still whisper about. A family epic about a desperate search for a little boy who's lost.

Eight-year-old Edgar remembers nothing of the terrible accident people still whisper about. He only knows his father is dead, his mother has a limp, and his grandmother believes in ghosts. EDGAR AND LUCY is a thrilling adventure and an unlikely love story, combining a wonderfully rendered family epic with a desperate search for a little boy who's lost.

Beautifully written, touching on dark, dramatic aspects of loss and grief, lightened by judicious touches of humour and beefed up by strong supporting characters' Herald.
