The first novel in ten years from award-winning,
million-copy bestselling author Leif Enger, Virgil Wander is an
enchanting and timeless all-American story that follows the
inhabitants of a small Midwestern town in their quest to revive
its flagging heart. Midwestern movie house owner Virgil Wander
is “cruising along at medium altitude” when his car flies off
the road into icy Lake Superior. Virgil survives but his
language and memory are altered and he emerges into a world no
longer familiar to him. Awakening in this new life, Virgil
begins to piece together his personal history and the lore of
his broken town. With intelligent humor and captivating whimsy,
Leif Enger conjures a remarkable portrait of a region and its
residents, who, for reasons of choice or circumstance, never
made it out of their defunct industrial district.
Characters: 75. Amazon rating: 4 1/2 stars. Genre: Fiction.
