Impressive, quite impressive, but it's the kind of book I need to read twice to comment on, so I'll refrain for now. On the second reading, I'll have a map to hand, dialect dictionary, author's lectures, notes on symbolism, whatever necessary. I feel like this book would reward digging into it.
Garner remains the master of nuanced dialogue and of profound rootedness in landscape. Contemporary fiction doesn't get any better than this.
