I suspect this is a book I will need to re-read. When I first read it ages ago, I only did so because it’s my father’s favorite book, and although I liked it, I don’t think I got the greater meaning

I read this much too young to appreciate any greater meaning. Time for a reread, I think. Lovely reviews, the excerpts you have chosen to capture here really prompt me to give this another read

I had a similar response – at first I was perplexed by the apparent dullness but then I realized that it was actually quite brilliant. There is something about an old person facing death that always tugs at my heartstrings and this is a particularly great treatment.
