  • "Edgar Presley Mint, orphelin de 7 ans, se fait écraser la tête par la Jeep du facteur. Un médecin lui sauve miraculeusement la vie. L'enfant se fait une famille des autres malades de l'hôpital où il séjourne durant deux ans puis il part à la recherche du facteur pour lui montrer qu'il a survécu afin de le libérer de la culpabilité. Cette quête le mènera finalement à un foyer inattendu."
  • ""If I could tell you only one thing about my life it would be this: when I was seven years old the mailman ran over my head. As formative events go, nothing else comes close. With these words Edgar Mint, half-Apache and mostly orphaned, makes his unshakable claim on our attention. In the course of Brady Udall's high-spirited, inexhaustibly inventive novel, Edgar survives not just this bizarre accident, but a hellish boarding school for Native American orphans, a well-meaning but wildly dysfunctional Mormon foster family, and the loss of most on the illusions that are supposed to make life bearable. What persists is Edgar's innate goodness, his determination to find and forgive the man who almost killed him. THE MIRACLE LIFE OF EDGAR MINT is a miracle of storytelling, bursting with heartache and hilarity and inhabited by characters as outsized as the landscape of the American West."--BOOK COVER."
