Eight-year-old Edgar Allan Fini is haunted – by his father''s absence, his mother''s secrets, and the ghosts of his grandmother''s past. But he recalls nothing of the accident about which people still whisper.
When Edgar meets a man with his own tragic story, he is drawn deep into a damaged, grief-stricken world. Lucy must confront the demons that plague her, to save her son and herself.
Tinged with wonder and a dark fairytale heart, Edgar and Lucy is a gripping coming-of-age story about the painful and loving ties that bind us.
