But dora, you must not believe everything you read ! ;)
You're all pinning down just the way I feel.
I was re-reading The Sojourner by Marjorie Kinnan Rawlings (The Yearling author) a week or so back, for at least the 5th or 6th time and got lost as always in the storytelling to the point when once again Asahel became real and I felt grief when he died.

I want to read it again and again.
