A truly good reading, a critical tour de force, whether or not you make time for the book in question. Exemplary.

Very good review. I've had this one on my shelf for a while and have been meaning to read it.

Excellent! The final quoted passage from the novel comes through exactly on its own merits—it’s enchanting—but also as a fitting illustration of the final point of the review. It’s difficult to quote and place a quote like that, I think.
