Query: Totally absorbing, emotionally affecting, subtly written.

This book hit me hard. It is ironic that I must use a cliche to describe the book, since the author never used one, but I laughted and cried. There are little miracles in this book that are understated, so that one's emotions catch one unawares! I heartily recommend this novel to both men and women.
