On The Black Hill
by Bruce Chatwin
Lately, I've had almost no time to read for pleasure, and in fact I only picked up this book as background/research for an upcoming reporting trip to Wales, but as soon as I started it, I forgot that this was a work-related read. I so enjoyed everything about it -- the characters, the sense of place, the way that the plot seemed slightly exaggerated in a few spots, as if we were dealing with archetypes from a pastoral, but then almost immediately pulled back to reveal a much more nuanced element/character. A lovely, gently told tale that makes me even more excited to visit the area where it is set.
