"If you are adverse to books that "move slowly," then by all means pass on this one. What Bennett is so very good at is creating characters by examining the minutia of their lives, desires, and personalities. I found "Clayhanger" to be so absolutely human in a way that's eminently recognizable even nearly a century since its initial publication. I look forward with pleasure to the next two books in the trilogy, "Hilda Lessways" and "These Twain". Bennett's "The Old Wives' Tale" is probably the best remembered of his novels, and it is a fine, fine read too."
