This was both more and less than what I was expecting - I'll have to read it again to fully grasp it, I think. The book-within-a-book threw me for a while, too.
The prose & character descriptions are rich, expansive yet concise (..."whose habits could not be changed by any force short of cannon fire" is a line that will stick with me), and delicious.
