I think I can agree with you on all of them, Peter; it just took me half the book to get there. In the beginning the setting, and even more the characters, were so foreign to me that I couldn't relate at all and only found it depressing. A learning curve, no doubt, and probably I will find the beginning more interesting next time.

1 the characters

2 the open-ended grappling with big questions/themes

3 the historical setting

Tell us what makes it a favorite, if you will, Peter.

One of my favorites! It's worth the 20-40 hours it takes to read the whole thing. I've read it at least twice (maybe three times).
