I was swept up in this book... until about page 250. That's when I began to weary of characters flitting across the pages of this book like so many birds, of the heavy-handed approach to the important messages, and to the lack of human touch or empathy towards characters and their conditions. I admire Annie Proulx immensely and am glad her tour-de-fource is so enthusiastically embraced. I wonder how much enthusiasm this book would inspire if she was not so aged. For me, too much (about 400 pages worth) and too little (character development and continuity).
