Wonderful book! I can see why it is beloved by many. I really enjoyed it, but sadly it won't go on my list of favorites because I didn't really like any of the characters. Other than this, it is exactly what I look for in a book: beautiful prose, three-dimensional characters, and a strong sense of place.
