Title: What's The Deal Here?
Review: First, don't read the introduction if you don't want to know what happens. Second, the author would skip many weeks (or months) at a time when it seemed that this timeframe was crucial to the story line. Such as when he returned from a 4-5 month absence. He had left his daughter to attend to the household and she was anxiously waiting for the day that he would return. It tells of him returning over the familiar hills and his thoughts. The next chapter he's been home for awhile and there is nothing about her reaction on his return. Also, the conflict between the father and daughter doesn't actual materialize significantly until your about three quarters of the way through. Some terms weren't familiar to me, such as croft, which made it a little slow going at the beginning. Otherwise, the writing itself was very descriptive and I guess this is what got him the Nobel prize.
