The Walking by Bentley Little. Although I do enjoy Little's work, this novel brought to light some problems I have with it. He is a brilliant stylist, and his narrative flows very well, but he seems to have a problem with ending his books. The finale seemed a little flat and sort of unrealistically happy, as is typical of his work. The setup is probably the best of any Little book I've read though, so we can say this one was more about the journey than the destination.
