I read that one a bunch of years ago (before Oprah was into it) and found it quite amazing, one of the few novels I was absolutely thrilled to have read, sort of like the movies each year you can count on one hand that are most pivotal in keeping alive the excitement with cinema.

I got the nice Oprahized version (better printing and cover) for my wife last Christmas (?) but I don't think she ever read it.
