I feel the same way you do about this title. I savor the meticulous and loving detail that Hodgson devotes to his landscape. I've read the book twice, and the second time was just as rewarding as the first.
For me, Hodgson also captured something in the love he feels for his characters and in the portrayal of their innocence - it's a sustained love that seems very rare in today's world.
